fuel pump

[rmorris]

sent my rear engine fuel pump to QAA for overhaul and just got back an email with two pieces of info:
- your pump has too much rust and cannot be repaired economically so we can scrap here or return to you
- oh ya, we never mentioned it earlier but we now want to charge $110 for having cracked it open to tell you it is scrap, have a nice day

p/n on my fuel pump is 649368-28a1, I think there is a newer model as well that works on the TSIO-360AB engine that ends in -65a1?

new is almost 5K, found a rebuilt at Avial for around 2.5K

Any other thoughts on sources? My engine has close to 1400 hours in the last 6 years so overhaul (or upgrade soon...but for now I need to fly.

just open to ideas on something more economical than the 2.5K option
