The old trick was to tighten down on the pump till the logo "faced front".

If you can't get there try a different thickness rubber washer at the bottom of the pump.

Just rec'd an NOS Silca pump from BC and have taken off the plastic head that came with it and installed an old Campy one. It went on no problem. Question is, how do I get the pump head feet and the "SILCA" decoration on the pump body to line up properly so that the decoration is facing forwards. It's the first time I've done this - other bikes always came with it setup.

I feel pretty dumb asking - seems there is an obvious answer I'm overlooking.

While I'm at it, anyone know where to get a replacement cup shaped washer for inside the pump so that she actually works. Is there a hardware store remedy?
