They don't sell them. They had original NOS ones up till last year, but they've gone. But there are still supposed new, "Exceeds OE Spec" pumps widely available, including from Robsport. So someone somewhere is making them, and therefore the shafts. I don't know if it's the Israelis or not, but they've done wonderful things with Centurions - the tanks not the Roman Captains.
Well it's hardly a "must". It's obviously a gamble. And there's 180 days to dispute it with the PayPal resolution center.cleverusername wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 5:03 pm My advice is if you must chance it, use a payment method like Paypal that limits your exposure but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Read their terms and conditions !! Believe me I am sure it is a scam site, if you search you will find several more sites all with the same advert, some with different prices.GrahamFountain wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 6:39 pmWell it's hardly a "must".

And, like the old saw from Herodotus goes, "who knows what might happen... perhaps the horse will learn to sing".
And it's only £40 (plus a repair kit and some effort) against £270 for a new pump.

, but in this case I don't think so. Why is it so important to you to berate me for having taken such a risk, and a small one at that? You said you think it's a scam, and it possibly is. But having said that once, there's no need to go on and on about it is there? If it's not, and I get the part, I'll report same.marshman wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:46 pmRead their terms and conditions !!

The advert is "ripped off" from Robsport when they did sell them. Below is the title of a current Robsport eBay ad, look familiar??, Note the ** around the water pump bit.
"Triumph TR7 STAG ** WATER PUMP REPAIR KIT inc. gaskets** Dolomite Sprint / 1850"
You have to "sign up" to place your order. The freepost always seems to be just below the price of the item !!! If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, it is a rat!!
When you click through to make a purchase and select "paypal" it goes to another website briefly first before going to paypal - wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it. There is no data check on validity of your address or postcode or phone number either - just been through the process with false data to "check it out". A legit site would have bounced my "purchase".
I would say it is more than a gamble with £40, you are possibly gambling with giving access to your paypal account - so if you still think it is worth a try I would change your paypal password as soon as you have completed the transaction.
Of course I could be wrong, I often am

Sorry Graham, I wasn't berating you - or didn't think I was. The information was as much for general consumption on what I thought was wrong and the indicators that it is most probably a scam site - the scam artists get "smarter" by the day and catch even the most savvy of us out on occasion.GrahamFountain wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:08 amWhy is it so important to you to berate me for having taken such a risk, and a small one at that?

No, I asked if anybody knew anything. That I only got opinion is no surprise. But repetition of such an opinion after I'd paid for the shaft seemed to me to have an obvious implication.matt of the vivas wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:02 am You've asked for opinions. He's given his - and is trying to stop you being scammed! Go ahead and buy it, let us know how you get on.
What's your price on a serviceable shaft, and do you have any serviceable flingers as well? You just know what other box I'm wondering if it's near.xvivalve wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:19 am If it is a scam site, it is very elaborate; they list a LOT of car parts amongst many other items. It may be you are buying Chinese copies of genuine items; if you do receive a shaft, I'd try to check the hardness of the gear, else you might need a jackshaft shortly too!
If you still find yourself needing a shaft at the end of the exercise, I'm sure I can find a serviceable used item, I have a large box of water pump components...somewhere...
