[Vwdiesel] Injection Pump talk ---- ( for the pump gang and all )

[David Cook]

Here's an idea derived from when I rebuilt my old
beetle's carburator...

For all the little tiny pump parts, to keep them
straight and clean, use some ice cube trays.

I grabbed a couple old trays, and set them on pieces
of paper.  On the paper, next to each "cube" I wrote
what the part was, etc.

When it came time to put it back together, I just had
to reverse through the cube trays for my parts, as the
order I had taken them off in was preserved.
