does this look right ?

[stumpy-blair]

i have posted elsewhere about my new/old compressor .... started pulling down the pump and found this under the top plate ...pump is a brunner ...this is lockwired and bolted down ? ..... the broken bits look like internal rings to hold something in ..... anyone have a parts schematic for what this is ment to look like ....this is just a curious look by me to see whats under the lid , pump was pumping fine , but its in my nature to look .....I need to understand my tools and the way they work , helps later on in life to diagnose faults ....
cheers for any help

I have a Utica-Brunner too. Can't find much info on them, and never had mine apart. I posted somewhere....maybe smokstak.com......about 8 years ago. I was contacted buy a guy who was collecting all of the Brunner models and making repair parts for them. Working off the ipad right now away from home but I think I have his contact info at home.

Looks a bit like a broken up coil spring?

monkeyspanners , you are correct , taking off the bolted down bits , under those caps are little springs , one is as you see ....buggered the other is still there , so I can make or get another somewhere .......

There is a place in Melbourne (Century Springs) that will make one off springs should you not be able to find one. I have had some made there for various projects and they do a ripper job.
