Water Pump shaft end play

[panhead_pete]

Thanks all. I have fitted a split collar (16mm) and set the end play at .007. Its an interim fix as Im not really comfortable with the collar riding against the pack nut.



Whilst I was doing that checked the fan and its aluminium but does have some play in it too. Will order a fan whilst Im there as freight will be the biggest expense.


In the absence of new leakless pumps being available affordably has anyone used the Bratton unasembled water pump kit?
