Replacement Fuel Pump new terminal size?

[Rex Pedersen]

I ran into this on my 85 a few years back. I did the same as you and it
worked fine. I'm not sure about the part numbers, but an "a" to a "c"
usually means a part has been updated, like the door handles...:)

I got my replacement fuel pump, and was almost ready to put it in, when
I noticed a potential problem...

The old pump had the pos terminal small diameter htan neutral while the
new pump has it bigger (eg larger diameter than the neutral).  Not a
biggie, I can easily ream the connector on the + lead to fit over this
terminal stud and get a new nut and washer, but I got to thinking maybe
this is a sign that I got the wrong replacement.  The old part nos are
447 906 091A (vw) and 580 254 016 (bosch) while the new ones are 447 906
091C and 580 254 023.  The parts place double checked and this is
supposed to be the right replacement.

Any listers replace their pumps run into this, or have I got the wrong
pump?
