oil metering pump rebuild kit - where?

I saw a thread here a few months ago about rebuild kits for the 12a oil metering pump being available from Lowe's ??? I am guessing that it did not mean the hardware store. What/where is this Lowes store? If I can get this info, maybe I can rebuild the 3 dozen core omp's I've got... Any info appreciated. If you know the place I'm asking about, please email me at jameshull777@hotmail.com

Here is about the OMP rebuild:

It appears that lowesperformance is no longer around. You will need to get the parts probably from the dealer as Midwest 7's mentioned.

Lowe's website is no longer around.. haven't called them in forever but when I bought mine their website was down so I just called them.

Do a search. You'll find what you need.

Hey man thanks for the plug! My website will soon be moving to brownmound.com with a bunch of new updates on it!

You can glean the number of Lowe Performance from the photo on that page, btw. Give them a call.

Right on.

omp rebuild kit

Hey guys, thanks for info. Just talked to the Lowes people at 941 924-8597. They do have both 12a and SE rebuild kits. Their website is undergoing reconstruction, so unavailable currently. Later,
Jim

A new pump is going to be some $ and good luck finding an original 20+ year old pump that does not leak. For what it's worth, I just figured the sizes for the o-rings and ordered them from an online source. For less than $20 I got enough o-rings to do 3 pumps, including an additional o-ring found on the pump that is not included with the Lowes kit and ordered them in the more superior material Viton.

Well, that's one way to do it.

Right on!
