Dennis - Not sure about the Moss pump.  I was fortunate to use a rebuild 
kit on my original pump.

 From the TRF TR6 glovebox catalog at

Yes, there are cheap repro fuel pumps on the market.  Some have no 
priming lever, and some have left our customers and friends stranded.  
TRF's pumps come from Italy, and they are replicas of original AC 
pumps.  When the time comes, you can also rebuild them with original 
rebuild components.  TRF's rebuild kits have the correct diaphragms, not 
ones that are made upside down.  We include higher quality valves too, 
and the oil seals that keep fuel out of your crankcase.  TRF's fuel 
filters are genuine AC filters with metal cases.  That is why they cost 
just a little more.  Before I forget to say it, please never throw away 
an original AC fuel pump. Someone will want it, even just for some of 
the parts.
