<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That will be a very difficult job.&nbsp; The 
flexing properties entirely determine the response of the MPS, which directly 
controls the injection.&nbsp; It can be correct geometrically, but not act the 
same under vacuum.&nbsp; It is surprising therefore to find two different 
materials!&nbsp; Perhaps one was original, one was rebuilt by Bret?&nbsp; This 
will be a key part for making these VWs "last forever."</FONT></DIV>

  ideal material, brass, bronze, phosphor bronze, berillium copper, 
  <BR>&gt;&nbsp; stainless....<BR>Well we know both copper and stainless steel 
  work harden. but I don't know <BR>how many years it would take to do that. I 
  could dig out a micrometer, and <BR>measure the thickness of the SS one, and 
  give you an idea of how thin it is. It <BR>looks like it's about 28 guage 
  stainless steel though.<BR></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
