I also had my TR3A and TR4A original water pumps upgraded by Flying Dutchman with 6 vane impellers and modern bearings. They have both performed much better over the last 6 and 10 years. Both cars do not ever overheat, even in 95F heat and in heavy traffic in Florida.

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).   The car now runs as cool as when I got it 42 years ago.  Maybe cooler, despite moving to 87mm pistons and liners.    Prior to those changes it ran hot for ten years, right on one side or another of boiling over.  I took the pump over during one of my visits to Goodwood and brought it home during another, with help from friends in the UK.  But I could have posted it both ways.  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. A proper-functioning water pump wasn't the only change, but I give it the most credit.  Proceed with caution around what are claimed as modern improvements.

TWS Motors in Massachusetts.  Apparently they specialize in TR7/8, and maybe Land Rover.

 

Looking at this part:   https://thewedgeshopstore.com/water-pump-5-vane-tr3-tr4a/

 

Looks like a nice upgrade
