I finally found an adequate pump at CB Performance.com.  They carry
Maxi One pumps.  They have a 26 mm aluminum body pump that fits type
IV engines.  Maxi one makes a 30 mm one also but CB doesn't carry it.
Aircooled.net usually does but was out of them.  The 26 mm pump was
$32 from CB.  The 30 mm was $65-75 from air cooled.  You can get a
Melling  30 mm iron body pump for about $60 from RMMW or BD but both
lists didn't like them because of the metal differences.  The Melling
has ears on the pump body that makes it so it won't fit on a
Vanagon engine because of the engine carrier design.
Let me know how you make out

Steve

If you need me to I can look up the part number.
