Ahem,
Speaking of pumps... hows the new casting going?
...Chrissi

I got them. Still sitting in the hanger. Not machined yet.
You want a good deal on a raw casting?

Wish we could but you have all the setups figured out, besides our
lathe (a CC 9x20) could handle the casting to do the tapered
impellor hole and we are building this plane full-time (sleep optional).
Whine whine....so any idea wheeeeen?
...Chrissi

If I get a bunch of request I'll machine some. How many want remote water
pumps?


Paul Lamar

I want one.

Mike McGee, RV-4 N996RV, O320-E2G, Hillsboro, OR
13B in gestation mode

OK that's three. (One for me. :))

Paul Lamar

How much, I'll send a check tomorrow? Just send us the 3rd one, after you make all your machining goofs on the first two =)
...Chrissi

No way! First come first served :) I don't know Chrissi until I do one.
My guess is somewhere betweeen $100 and $200.

Paul, since I was off of the list for a few weeks I probably missed a lot of discussion on the pump, so please fo rgive me if I
ask something that has already been covered.

1) Will this enable me to eliminate the 5 inch cowl bump the ugly stock pump location would require?
2) Does it use the existing pump?
3) Does anything else need to be replaced other than the housing and probably the belt?
4) How difficult is installation?

Chances are good that I will want one, if for no other reason than to help fit everything into the cowling without having to
add extra appendages.

Couple of questions. What kind of airplane? Yes it uses the early 
7 bolt cartridge. You will need a bracket to bolt the pump
and the alternator to the left side of the airplane where
the stock AC compressor goes. You will need somebody to tig weld
for you. I can get that done for people if they order it
when they order the pump. My guess is around a $30 welding
charge. Depends on what kind of plumbing you want to use.
Hose, AN or wiggins.
