MG MGA - Fuel Pump Leak

Hi All
Thought you guys may find this info useful.
Yesterday I started my A only to smell petrol.
I looked under and noticed it dripping off the underside around the gaskets.
Pulled it out and stripped. I have an HP SU Pump.
The fun started with sourcing the TWO new gaskets.
Looking in the MGA manual and most suppliers there is only ONE, but I had TWO fitted. A diaphragm gasket and a joint gasket.
Looking on Burlen's website I found reference to TWO so contacted them, but Diaphragm gasket was out of stock until August UGH!!
I started a search and eventually found the gasket.
For those who are interested the part # AUB809, fits several cars with SU fuel pumps
