[Healeys] County Brand (was Parts comparisons)

[Alan Seigrist]

Greg -

All 100s have a special shouldered nut to fit on this part of the water
pump.  The County pump may in fact have been cast as original.  Make sure
your car has this special nut - if not - that is your problem, not the water
pump.
