Mohammed, I believe that with great confidence that I can tell you that you are in need of Part Number 036710 from Reya or A.M.F.A. A.M.F.A. was an independent company bought by Reya. I do not think that the pump you have is made any longer and you will have difficulty finding the part that you need. The two most common pumps that I have seen in Amel 53 and 54's are the Reya/A.M.F.A. 66B (which I have) and the higher capacity 40B (I think that is the correct number). I believe that you have the 40B. The part that you need is a marine brass manifold. The good news is that it is the same part, regardless which pump you have. Take a look at the photo here: Yes, you are correct that the smaller (3/8" 10mm) hole only has about 3 threads and if you overtighten at this point, you will certainly strip the threads in this manifold. I was able to find a manifold in the storeroom at Amel Martinique because, although mine is not leaking now, I over tightened and partially stripped those threads. Before I found the replacement I repaired the manifold with an American epoxy repair product called JB Weld. It has held with no dripping and I have elected to replace the manifold the next time I do anything on that pump. These two pumps, the 66B and 40B, are amazing pumps and worth keeping. The places that I would look for a replacement manifold are:
The photo I uploaded will help you find the part that you need. I hope this helps you. Best, Bill BeBe 387
