Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose the 12-vane design over the original 6-vane pump?
The 12-vane design significantly improves cooling efficiency compared to the 6-vane original. This is particularly beneficial if you're running your classic in modern traffic conditions or have modified the engine for additional performance.
Will this pump fit my earlier model?
Yes, the pump can be fitted to earlier models, provided you use a 12-vane top cover. This makes it a versatile upgrade for various applications.
Do I need any special tools or considerations for installation?
While the pump comes with comprehensive fitting instructions, you'll need to ensure the engine block bush (part 145022) is replaced during installation. Always follow the workshop manual for correct shimming tolerances.
What's included in the box?
The kit includes the pump assembly, necessary gaskets and detailed fitting instructions. We recommend reading the fitting instructions before installation.
How does the ceramic-surfaced impeller benefit my engine?
The ceramic surface insert provides superior wear resistance compared to standard impellers, significantly extending service life and maintaining optimal coolant flow throughout the pump's lifetime.
What makes this pump's seal system different?
The upgraded water seal is manufactured to exceed OE specifications, addressing one of the most common failure points in original pumps. This enhancement significantly reduces the risk of coolant leaks.
The pump seems more expensive than other options - why?
While the initial cost is higher, the premium materials and enhanced design typically result in longer service life and better performance. Consider it an investment in your engine's longevity rather than a simple replacement part.
How long can I expect this pump to last?
With proper installation and maintenance, these pumps have demonstrated exceptional longevity. Our track record of over 2,000 units sold over 15 years shows consistent reliability in real-world applications.
Which vehicles is this pump compatible with?
The pump is designed for Triumph Stag, TR7 and Dolomite 1850/Sprint models. Always verify your specific application requirements.
Do I need to modify anything when upgrading from a 6-vane pump?
Beyond ensuring you have the correct top cover, no additional modifications are required. However, we strongly recommend replacing the spindle bush during installation.
