We now believe the pump can be salvaged by butt welding (heliarc) an aluminum nipple to the end of the pump head.
The threads were stripped before the PVC nipple was originally intalled. I was able to remove the broken PVC without doing further harm.On the next one, perhaps the PVC can be burnt out so as not to ruin the threads....or some solvent that will soften it. Or simply keep the PVC fitting for a test of the pump, at least...
