Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. I have yet to hear of any other
Phil Marino water pump shafts failing.
I've asked Phil to make a new shaft with no keyway-the taper should be
sufficient to transmit the torque required to drive the impeller. I also plan
to run a 7 blade plastic MGB fan in place of the original. With these two
changes, I hope to reduce the potential for future failures substantially.
Again, thanks to all who responded.
