[Healeys] Water Pumps

[Michael MacLean]

 This one from British Parts Northwest has been available for some time.  I bought one for my BN2 a couple of years ago to replace the county brand pump that was installed during the rebuild of the short block.  Don't know that much about it, but it has to be better than County brand.Mike MacLean

 As you point out Bob, a Zerk fitting with sealed bearings is a worry. I also notice that the plug in the body of the 100 pump is an Allen head and what's the bet that the heater nipple on that pump is required because the thread is not the unusual 5/8"  16T.P.I. thread required by the original tap.I also notice that the 100 pump rad hose connector has a bulb end. 
On the 6 cylinder pump I don't like the look of that short cartridge bearing which, with the load imparted by a "V" belt, will almost certainly have limited life because of the decreased race spread.  

Why do they insist on reinventing the wheel?

Looks like we might have a solution to the bad water pumps, i.e. County, 
that have been proffered by some:

NFI, and I have no experience with them, but there's hope.  I don't see 
the correct pulley for BJ8s, though, and they appear to have both sealed 
bearings and zerks(?).
