<div>Thanks Bob;</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I just ordered both a pump and a 6 blade fan from AH Spares in the UK. I researched Victoria British, Moss, the Nocks and a few others. Pricing and freight was all over the board but I was chasing inventory on hand and quality rather
than costs so the Brits won the battle in this instance.<br>
Hope they last as long as the originals !!!<br>

The bearings on my water pump finally gave out so I am in the market for one and also think it is time to upgrade from the 2 piece four bladed fan that was on it.<br>
The pump has the nut on the shaft for the pulley but unless the pulley is keyed on it looks more like it is pressed on although I do have a bit of motion of the pulley on the shaft. It seems most new pumps (Moss for example) have the pulleys now pressed on
so I assume that is the preferred solution for replacement.<br>
Re the fan I was looking at a six blade but saw no fans in the Moss catalog (NA?) as they look for a solution I recall to rivets popping on the metal ones and not sure re the plastic blade solution.<br>
Looking for any feed back on obtaining a new water pump and an upgraded fan blade.<br>
Thanks !<br>
