<div>Looking forward to hearing your results of using it, in the car. What is the original seal material made of? It's not metallic, and feels like plastic or really hard rubber. I was thinking using valve lapping paste could recondition the mating surfaces
that isn't too far gone?</div>

<div>That is awesome. Is that a pool pump seal? Mine is the first one I ever pulled apart, but I assume the other inner seal is simply to contain the bearing grease. Since you are using sealed bearings, did you still use that seal?</div>

<div dir="auto">After a couple of premature failures of repro 100 water pumps I decided to look into rebuilding them with a modern seal and sealed bearings.
<div dir="auto">I have some concerns about the small size of the annulus through which all the coolant must pass in the original design so I have managed to install a considerably smaller seal as in the pics attached. </div>

<div>What's the skinny on the repo 100 water pumps? Hear they leak and need broken in dry. Uprated pump any good? Moss states the brass tap can be screwed into the uprated pump, but from the pictures it actually looks like the standard has threads and not the
uprated. Can anyone confirm? Rebuild original?Thoughts/ advice welcomed?</div>
