even hough i have a knackered pump ,i am still over the moon that she runs , its not having confidence reassembling all the bits ,i have had numerous setbacks but now i can sort out all the other bits in the knowledge that the engine will work , i have now bought steves external water pump kit , i have just to source the bracket to move the alternator , i believe wards do a kit , i will go to bed a happy man tonight , brilliant day . thank you all for your kind remarks

if you get the wards bracket i think you have to change the alternator as well ( upgraded )

Andy, I have Tony Harts bracket, you can use existing alternator with that one.
