They would be used to hold the drive gear on a GM distributor
amongst other things. Last time I used one was to install a large
yellow knob on a PP1 valve. That is a truck air brake valve.
Typically, auto parts stores will have a drawer with a selection of
these pins.

==========================
Thanks for the information but not even close. This is a long thin
ceramic needle-like thing, more like a piece of cut coathanger but is
made of ceramic material. It goes through the impeller to keep it
spinning in the middle of the impeller well. It's stabilized at both
ends so the impeller can spin and not actually touch the sides of the
well.


Any chance at a pic??

No. I tried to find replacement parts for Tetra pumps and never came across
them, no less a pic of this ceramic shaft. It was just a thin ceramic rod
that looked like a piece of white coat hanger and was about 4" long. The
ends were clean-cut and the surface was rough like flat paint (IOW not slick
and shiny).

You may want to notify the local Police then (or the police in the town the
stalker is from). I did and at least there's a record now that this
"person" threatened me. Some of these people are dangerous sociopaths.
It's always good to let the Police know when someone threatens you online or
is trying to steal/use your identity. This troll/stalker was even talking
about getting my credit report. Be careful!

I got a reply from Tetra this morning to call them and order this part.
They do carry it the e-mail said. :-) Without that ceramic shaft the pump
is useless. I once threw away a Beckett pump not thinking I could order a
new impeller....

EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries
before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED.
