Hi Guys,
Is the water pump located on the block with a dowel? Moss seem to list 2 different types of dowel for both the cast iron and alloy water pump. However, as far as I can tell, none of the other Minor specialists list a dowel.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Regards
John

Re: Water Pump
As far as I know all the later cars have alloy pumps.
My guess is that cast iron pumps may have been fitted to the side valve engines.

Re: Water Pump
Yes there are dowels - I thought (in fact jolly sure! ) same one for both types of pump. Early pump was indeed cast iron.

Re: Water Pump
The water pump for the later side valve engine is completely different to the A Series pump.
I thought that the Series11 pump was different to the later engines.

Re: Water Pump
Cast iron pumps were the standard fitting. Alloy pumps are from later cars, but can be retro fitted. Found a source of the dowels too
