Default Model b water pump needed

I am in need of a new water pump for a Model B engine. I have heard that there is a person who makes a new pack less Model B Water Pump. Does any one have any information?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately "new" is not always good. I have heard that some of the "new" castings are junk.

I purchased one of Mac's new B water pumps and it leaked. Mac's gladly refunded my money.

If you're looking for a '32-'36 V8 pump, check Dennis Carpenter. I had one of the Harry Fryer modified pumps and the bearings finally went south. Never leaked though.

The engine currently has an adaptor with a early V-8 pump BUT the customer wants to run a fan, and NOT an electric fan. There is no provisions to mount a fan on the V-8 pump pulley.

I have an original stock rebuilt B Pump with the conventional packing and packing nut. I wanted to use a packless pump if one was available.

I also have a good B pump core. I think I will buy the "leakless" parts from Renner's and rebuild it myself.
