Can you spin it 180? If not call back to then and now and see if they can figure it out

[jpartington]

Nah 180 looks the same. I’ll give them a shout tomorrow. If they say it’s the right diaphragm I’ll just poke some new holes I suppose.

I bought a couple of kits from Then and Now and it included two pins in each kit.  One is just long enough to reach from side to side and the other is shorter and I believe is intended to be used with two small freeze plugs or cups as shown in the attached picture.  

 

Has anyone else had a kit with the short pin and two cups?  I'm assuming the intention is to use the two cups to hold the pin in place.  On the longer pin my guess is you're supposed to stake the housing so the pin can't slide out.

 

Anyone have a preference as to which would be better?

That's interesting. The kits I got from them had a longer pin with circlips for each end.

I would definitely have preferred that option.

Mine has only one end(rear side).These years( since may 2017) it is running very well,but I noticed a leak of engine oil,I suspected that is from the pin and put a little of glue.
