Is there any update from the tooling fund on availability of 6-vane water pump impellers?

I know who to ask. Watch this space.

Re the 6 vane impellers, I have found that a small batch has been cast, but the Chinese have upset the progress of machining and testing I'm afraid. With the latest Covid instructions issued here today, I wouldn't like to guess when they might become available. What is the matter with yours?

Hi Mike,
Here in California,USA, machine shop work is about $100 per hour so having the impellers base resurfaced is a min of $100. If the new impellors are cheaper, I'd buy a new impellor. I'm not going to risk putting in an unknown rebuilt pump. . My current pump is weeping in Stag no1 and it due for a rebuild. For Stag no2, I bought a NOS pump off Ebay and used the parts off that on my brand named pump shaft.

Sujit, there’s a guy not 2 miles from me who rebuilds stag/Tr7 water pumps and many others. He used to be a Stag specialist and sold parts and serviced stags but gave Stags up. I’ll look Him up and maybe we can do something with all the other stuff we are planning to ship to each other..

Hello Mike, Is this a Stag tool fund project? If so are any TR7 clubs helping out with the development cost of of this?
