[TR] water pump Tr3

[spook01@comcast.net]

With no t stat it won't ever warm up in cool weather.
Is there anyone out there with ONLY the pump replaced with a HD unit, and everything else left as was?

I recently fitted the uprated water pump from British Parts Northwest. Some 
 listers suggested it has better performance than the one that Moss offers, 
but I  can't really confirm nor contradict that.
 
Certainly, but car's cooling is much better now, in fact the thing won't  
warm up! I can't say it's all the water pump's fault, though, because I also  
fitted a thicker radiator core with no starting handle hole, as well as the 
Moss  TR6 fan conversion kit. I think the reason it won't warm up is that 
I've only  driven the car, with the mods done, in cooler autumn temperatures 
and also my  car hasn't had a thermostat since long before I owned it, which 
I will now  correct.
 
Regardless, to reiterate I can say the British Parts Northwest uprated pump 
 is highly recommended.
