Bo's definitely still around, though maybe not on the Rovernet. If I 
remember correctly, Bo got the information from me, and I think I got it 
from Kent.

Nope, I was wrong! It was Duane Kennard (whose demise is often wrongly 
reported)!


  Rover waterpumps

These numbers are thanks to Duane Kennard, with email-address: 
RoverP6B at pacbell.net

Here are TRW #s for the water pumps that fit P6B & SD1:

*For P6B:*
TRW # FP 1318 - Short nose, for Buick 300; 340. Around $50 new
GMB # 130-1420
The GMB is genuine Japanese mfg. and the casting is even nicer than 
TRW's, (new units, not rebuilt) and even less costly at about $40.

*For SD1:*
TRW # FP 1448 - Long nose, for '70s Buick V6 & V8s. $30 new

Rebuilt units are even less money. The short nose one goes for $16 from 
a local parts house.

All these pumps have all water outlets in the right places for the Rover 
engine. Don't try to use the one for the 215 Buick; it doesn't.
They are easily found at any parts house in the US, and are very 
inexpensive. Any parts house can cross reference the TRW #. These pumps 
come with a 4 bolt fan & pulley mounting flange, & I use a junk yard 
located pulley from either an old Ford or Buick. (I've used both) If a 
viscous "fan clutch" is wanted, it may be possible to swap the 4 bolt 
flange for the Rover drive flange, as I think the shaft is the same OD. 
I prefer to use a "flex fan" with the 4 bolt flange.
