[Vwdiesel] *HELP - injection pump for '93 EV needed*

hey all
I've got a '93 EuroVan diesel (Canadian) that needs an injection pump
we sent the pump out to Cummins to rebuild, who sent it back saying it 
was too far gone
but I can't afford or justify the expense of a new pump
anyone know where I could find a good used pump for (relatively) cheap 
money?
thanks for any ideas
