Anyone rebuild Longbridge washer pump

Anyone have directions and pictures of rebuilding an original Longbridge style wiper pump?
thanks,

Biggest snag would be getting a proper rubber bulb.

You've probably already seen the pictures of how I converted my Longbridge pump (fitted as original on my very early BN6) into an electrical switch to activate a hidden pump...

Randy,
I forgot you did that. So what kind of pump, switch and relay switch is that?

Just a generic "parts store" pump, an old Healey ovd relay (to preserve the switch contacts), a momentary contact switch (just something I had laying around).

The only trick, and all shown in the link above, was to mount the switch inside the former pump; I cut down a shock absorber washer to fit inside the aluminum can and its offset allowed the switch to be positioned within the range of plunger movement.

Sounds like a project for after all else is finished and I was another small project. Thanks for the info.
