Im tring to fit a different water pump to my sprint,thought you may be interested on how its going




its a belt driven pump , im going to run electric fan









may have to remake the mounting bracket for a fourth time as i need to turn the pump to give more room to do the pluming hoses the one for the heater is a bit tight against the subframe ,happy days

Looks interesting, who makes the pump?

That's a big battery you have there, might give you more space if you relocate it to the boot.

Keep us posted.

Thanks

its a tried and tested mod on the Stag , im just adapting it to fit the Sprint,if it fits the Sprint it should also fit the 1850

Hopefully i wont need it Dave, but that is why i'm watching your work with interest

Tony.

When i took the water pump cover off i was surprised to see a 12 vain pump seeing as my car is 73/74




Had a bit, a lot of trouble getting it out


Got the new bungs to gether

Cleaned up engine a bit and carried on with plumming







started the pipe work for the heater but ran out of pipe boy is that stainless pipe hard to bend
