[ats at longcoeur.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Oh I sure mine are not rusted at all (the underside of all 4 MKI;s I have
are nice. (inside being another story) 

Got a pic of what you need or parts # (even on a MKII pictures (etka) so I
can check for ya..

Yeah I know pump-to-accumulator, but its 6.30 and intake of caffeine only
started...lol

I SOOOOO agree w/ Cam's statement.

Finding crush washers turned out to be friutless - Kragen, Pepboys and even
Kohlweiss, Tosha, all had squat, zero, nada. And service? Don't bet on
it...I'm SOOO thankful I have my red S as a parts donor (for the time being
of course) otherwise I'd be SOL (that's Shit Outta Luck for those just
tuning in  :).  Turns out the line from the pump to the accumulator was
kinda mangled too - may have contributed to the poor mating surfaces to some
degree.

BTW - Anyone got a pump-to-accumulator line for a mk1 in REALLY GOOD shape?
(Patrick?)  :)

Suffice it to say - IT lives!!  MuHHUHUHWAAHHAHAAH!   :D

The flog is ON!  :)

PS - A big thanks to Chris Gonzalez who trekked 20 miles over here last
night to help me diagnose the problem. YOU DA MAN!  :)
