Whale Galley Pump

This may be a trivial post, but I found a way to fix the leaking spout bushing on the Whale Mark IV angled pump on my CD25D. It began to leak around the pipe and finally below into the blige. The cork bushing thru which the pipe passes was shot and I couldn't find reapir kit since the pump is not made now. I found a piece of thick walled vacuum pump hose that fits exactly into the busing seat. Cau a 1/2 piece, shove it in the bushing hole and use a cork borer to make the hole ~1/4" for a sug fit around the pipe. Silicone it in for security. It works and saves $65.
