Hi Art...
My first TR had an orginial pump for a while... I do recall... that I
was able to use the glass from a repro-pump... as long as I also used
the repro's metal-wire-with-a-nut-gizmo that holds it in place...
Diameter was no problem... and you really couldn't tell the difference,
standing next to the car. :)
