Trying to sort the leak from my fuel pump, dismantled a spare pump, not the same as the one fitted but very similar, to check that one off the car and whilst putting all parts “somewhere safe” one of the tiny valve springs that sit below the hexagonal valve plates has “disappeared”…… yes I know I should have been more careful!!
Anyone know of a source for these or a suitable alternative

You're welcome Denis, no connection with the firm yada, yada, yada.
Found their site ages ago looking for repair parts (just in case..) turned out I didn't need anything, saved the web address (just in case...).
And, in my experience of self levitating springs, you will find the missing spring a little while after you refit the repaired pump to the car
