Title: OK Deal hunters
Post by: Coyoteboy on September 28, 2009, 05:12:42 pm: I'm in need of a water pump, willing to get a copy rather than yota prices if cheaper but not poor quality. Just need the outer section of the pump - cheapest place in the UK/online UK?

I'm going to weld up the sills (they're not too bad for now) and I'm working on an atom-esque spaceframe chassis for the running gear for when the rust becomes too much to keep up with, fortunately I have access to someone with race-car chassis and suspension design experience so thats a long-term goal for when the brown cancer gets too much. In the mean time it's just MOT passing and survival.

Post by: Coyoteboy on September 28, 2009, 10:13:03 pm: Amazes me that the water pump is the same as the 3S GE. But it does open up more options.

Post by: Wiggy on September 30, 2009, 07:43:07 pm: As far as I'm aware the 3SGE is the same bottom end as the GTE. Especially on the early engines.

Post by: flyingtele on October 05, 2009, 09:55:41 pm: AFAIK the 3sge has the same block, but higher compression pistons, and slightly less beefy rods, but I'm willing to be wrong

Post by: Coyoteboy on October 06, 2009, 12:15:30 pm: Well I've got a blueprint 3S-GE pump from autopart for 33 quid. Looks identical to the £67 GTE part at first visual inspection.
