Narrative:

Arrived with a inoperative left engine driven hydraulic pump. Wrote up in log book. Maintenance could not fix; no hydraulic pump available. Put into crew rest. Came back to aircraft several hours later. Aircraft was not fixed; new pump; but missing (as I was told) backing plate (a little piece of plastic). Contract maintenance wanted to put this broken piece of plastic back on the aircraft. If it wasn't for our mechanic supervising the process the contract mechanic would have. Our mechanic said we would have lasted about 45 minutes to 1 hour and the hydraulic system would have leaked out. He; our mechanic; showed me the piece; it was definitely broken. Now we had to go through a process to get a proper part from another [carrier]. I was told the contract guy didn't even have the proper tools to fix the aircraft. I would suggest that we get our maintenance people instead of some contract person who doesn't care about the aircraft and [doesn't] bring the proper tools to fix it.
