I would appreciate hearing from those who can comment on the sound of the Moss Tourist Trophy exhaust system on their BJ8.

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

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?

Thanks for that Mike.
A question, did the brass tap for the heater pipe connection fit into the
thread where the brass spigot is on the pump supplied?

If I understand your question correctly you are referring to the heater pipe tap to pump threaded connection?? I have not installed the pump yet, but here are a couple of pics of the pump showing the threaded nipple and the brand of the pump.? Anyone familiar with this brand?? The thread is a course tapered one.? There is a zert fitting on the side of the pump about halfway along the shaft for greasing, but no instructions on how often that should be done.? I'm guessing the heater pipe connection is direct instead of the original tap that was screwed into the pump.? Not clear if the tap that Moss sells will thread into this pump and I don't know if I want to spend $160+ to find out.? Is the tap totally necessary?

Looks like the AHS pump to me. And, why are they painting them black?!
