MG MG Y Type - Jackall pump assembly.

OK - I admit it - I didn't take enough pics when stripping my pump. Franz, if you're there: did you happen to take pics of the order of final reassembly of the spring etc. onto the centre spindle ? ( in effect finishing off the whole job!). My pump is rebuilt, but I've confused myself at this last hurdle, so have walked away before I break something.
I'll attach a pic to jog the memory.
Thanks all.
John.

Thank you Franz - I knew I had seen those pictures somewhere! So I think I've assembled the main control knob, collar and spring correctly. What looked odd when viewed from underneath, is that the dished washer or collar, beneath the "Front-All-Rear" knob, tilts as it turns, and so comes to butt up against the centre pin at each of the "Front" or "Rear" positions - but not in the "All" position.
Anyway, with the help of your pics Franz, I shall sleep better tonight.
BTW, I do have my intact rear wood pieces which I can photograph if it helps you. Let me know. <mgtdmgy@bigpond.com> will reach me direct, or otherwise just on this forum. I'll attach an example.
Yours,
John.
Edit: the pics were taken before I learned which way up to hold the i-pad!

My Jackall ram and pump restoration is on hold whilst I fix my siezed engine. Engine siezed after start up after 5 weeks sitting at Upholsters. Upon removal of spark plugs I found coolant on top of piston #3. Head coming off today. Probably need to remove engine to see what is causing siezed engine.
See thread on TD-TF Board for further information.

So Franz, just one of your photos "made my morning" - it gave me the clue that I had one small component upside down - the little black retainer that sits at the base of the spring. Once I inverted it, it located correctly into the hole in the collar.
So THANK YOU!
John.
PS I'll append a photo when I'm back indoors, in the hope that it helps others, which I believe is the value of this forum.

Here's the pic showing (just) the black part (pointer?) below the collar - in yesterday's picture you'll see I had it upside down.John.

JP Hall - presume you have read all the articles on https://www.mg-cars.org.uk/imgytr/jackall.shtml? Pretty sure you will find most of the answers to dismantling and reassembly here.
