[Roadsters] Water pump, carpet, and wiring harness

[Pat Horne]

When I needed a water pump I went into the local forklift/loader shop 
and put the pump on the counter. I told them that it was for an H20 on a 
Nissan fork lift engine, but I didn't know the year, since the engine 
was now in a car. They were able to match it up easily. I believe it 
also fits a Mitsubishi engine, and I think several others. As I recall, 
the only thing that I found different was the length of one of the 
mounting bosses, I had to use a shorter bolt than on the old pump.

I may still have the box it cam in, but I can't get to my parts right 
now, yesterday a swarm of honey bees decided to set up home INSIDE my 
shop. Hopefully it is only for a few days, but if they are still there 
Monday I will call a bee keeper.

Peace,
Pat
