Interesting - what sort of price was it roughly? As they are getting expensive new - last time I looked on Rimmers they were about 150 clams. They are over 100 now on the flea for New Old Stock. Even used ones reach £50.

I have one laying about that needs a new seal.

It was the water pump for the 2.9 cosworth lump I was thinking of using for my 280i project...
- before the work, it leaked and the impeller was loose on the pulley shaft so it wasn't actually pumping water...

They fully reconditioned it , cut a gasket to suit and posted to me for approx 80 all in - this was a while ago so prices may have changed...

That's not too bad then - I may weld my spare one to strengthen the casing and then have it refurbed (see the thread on sprintexes to see why.)

On the other hand... new bearings/seals look like they should only be about £25. It can't be rocket science to dismantle, press out/in, then re-mantle, can it? Where can we get the bearings from though?
