Richard,I just got a new pump for my BN1 from Northwest British, it was a German made water pump and it's black in color. Not sure if it's the same one Moss is now selling, but I've got a couple of thousand miles on it now and no problems. But there was a large problem from the get go, seems the front "drain" plug threads were straight cut and not pipe thread. So it leaked like crazy from around those threads. I used a bunch of plumbers tape around the plug threads and was able to drive home 375 miles with just a small leak. When home I took the plug out, coated it with the new Permatex Seal+Lock, re-installed it and followed the directions to let it cure for 72 hours. No leaks since.I've used the Seal+Lock Thread Compound on other connections since also, and all of those connections are now also leak free, even on my air tools! So if that's the pump you have, it seems to be really good, so far.Steven KingsburyBN1On Jan 7, 2023, at 1:30 PM, Richard Mayor <boyracer466 at gmail.com> wrote:Anyone have any experience with the "uprated" BN1-BN2 water pumps being sold by Moss? I can see in the pictures that there is a brand name......and it's not County._______________________________________________Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.htmlSuggested annual donation  $12.75Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive/healeysHealeys@autox.team.nethttp://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeysUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com
