#1 Water pump housing 3.8

Hi Folks

Is this a County brand pump I just removed from my original 1962 3.8. I have told the bypass spouts never looked like that ( the wall thickness ) on a genuine pump and genuine pumps where quite clean castings.

Thanks Gary

That's correct, my original 3.8 pump didn't have the 'flanges' at the end of the outlets. The outlets were also a much thinner casting. The problem fitting the county pump has given me is that the outlet is now perilously close to the steering UJ.
