[TR] is anyone familiar with this place

[Rochlin Robert]

	I had my TR6 water pump upgraded to a 6 vane by Flying Dutchman  
water pumps in Oregon. in 2019. http://vintagewaterpumps.com/   The pump is works great, the service was fast and the communications were excellent.  Best of all the car runs measurably cooler.
	Best,
	Bob
	'72 TR6

I put back my TR3B's original pump after its rebuilding by EP Services in the UK (along with a few other things to the cooling system like flushing block-radiator, remounting front apron-deflecfor, and fitting Macy's "Hurricane" fan).

I'm sure somebody over here rebuilds water pumps like ours to original spec, but the vintage British sportscar ecosystem is so good in the UK I take advantage of it when possible.
