Who has an 'uprated' pump for BJ8s? There is an 'uprated' pump for 100s 
made by Bastuck that is not ideal IMO.

      No the grill stays in place and even the radiator can as well.
      Instead, undo the mounting bolts on ONE SIDE of the radiator and
      pull that side back enough to squeeze your hands in and access the
      fan bolts first and then the pump. Iâ??ve found pulling off the fan
      before removing the pump is far easier (and probably essential).
      Done this many times; slightly easier on a Six than a Four
      cylinder Healey, but not awful in either case. BTW, this is a good
      time to put in an uprated pump rather than a Chinese special �<br>
