[SEL] 22 hp stover fuel pump,, brass advice needed

[cgandree at mchsi.com]

Bill,
My thoughts are that the orginal plunger was made of bronze not brass as after restoring one of my large Stovers and helping several other collectors on theirs they were all bronze.  Its possible that sometime ago some one replaced the plunger with brass stock as he didn't have any bronze.  Not sure if Joe Mauer is tuning in to our list anymore but since he is the custody for Stover records and has several large hp Stovers you might contact him to confirm.
regards,
Curt Andree

i need to replace the plunger in fuel pump on the 22 hp stover due to wear. the plunger is of brass material and
travels in a cast iron bore of the pump body,,,,,,,, in checking some catalogues i found several different kinds of
brass alloy material,,,,, maybe one of you experts could suggest which type of brass would work best in this
application,,,,,, ?
thanks in advance for any help,
