2 pumps in 42 years, no tapping required - did have to overhaul but no tapping

The 12V one has 1045 hrs/15 years on it.
So apparently a new one is in order the next time it's in the maintenance hangar.
Transforming the question, does anyone know the most economical replacement pump out there for a 180?
Thanks to all for confirming that the 'tap' procedure isn't 'normal'.
