Water pump cover

[new to this]

How can you tell if you've got a 6 vane water pump cover, or a 12 vane ?

Dave

P.S Im going to reb

The 12-vane is a shallow angle - about 29 degrees. The 6-vane is a much steeper angle. Looking on Rimmers might give the part numbers marked on the casting?

Afaiaa you can’t tell until the cover is off.

Be good to hear if there a way to tell beforehand though.

Pmd you.

afaiaa only currently available used… or remanufactured as a complete pump…. But with a non original press fit impellor.

beware… impellors seal face often need a skim.
beware … seals being offered & readily available, do not give the correct torque to turn.

I’ve just stumbled across one in my shed Dave. I’ll text you some pics of you still need one.

The shaft was good.
Rest was missing or mullered.
