Thanks Bob;
I just ordered both a pump and a 6 blade fan from AH Spares in the UK. I re=
searched Victoria British, Moss, the Nocks and a few others. Pricing and fr=
eight was all over the board but I was chasing inventory on hand and qualit=
y rather than costs so the Brits won the battle in this instance.
Hope they last as long as the originals  !!!
Regards,
Richard C

The bearings on my water pump finally gave out so I am in the market for on=

The pump has the nut on the shaft for the pulley but unless the pulley is k=
eyed on it looks more like it is pressed on although I do have a bit of mot=
ion of the pulley on the shaft. It seems most new pumps (Moss for example) =
have the pulleys now pressed on so I assume that is the preferred solution =
for replacement.
Re the fan I was looking at a six blade but saw no fans in the Moss catalog=
 (NA?) as they look for a solution I recall to rivets popping on the metal =
ones and not sure re the plastic blade solution.
Looking for any feed back on obtaining a new water pump and an upgraded fan=
 blade.
Thanks !
