Early add-on water pump for series MM
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:27 pm
Via the ads in Minor Matters I've managed to obtain an early external water pump of the type that clamps to the dynamo and is operate by a wheel that sits on top of the fan belt. The name "Heath Robinson" springs to mind, but I'd like to rig it up on my MM which despite being a late one has an earlier motor fitted with no water pump - so there's nothing to run the heater which still lurks cold and quiet inside the car. Meanwhile I get cold and the windows mist up in the winter.
Accepting that this pump is not going to contribute much to global warming, can anyone advise/post a photo or diagram of how it would have originally been plumbed up? The car as it is does not have a tap or blanking plug on the head, incidentally. I have an engineering background and access to machine tools so feel free to get technical!
Thanks for any advice you can give.
