Water Pump

[Cygnusii]

Ian Irving-Fynn has developed an improved water pump for the 2 litre cars.  Mine was in very poor condition and I was not looking forward to finding a replacement.  Ian was able to repair the original housing and rebuild the pump using the much improved components he has made.  These pumps are a weakness in an otherwise nice engine.  With new pistons from Rod Briggs and Ian's rebuilt pump, I should have a good engine for touring.  Rod advertises in the newsletter.  Contact Ian at 07900 956024.

Maybe i should start advertising my new Engine components, I am probably the only company making completely new water pumps for PVT & Post war Weller engines, the castings are significantly superior material with machining to a much higher standard than the original AC Company parts.
The AC Company Post War water pumps corrode quite badly & have a support bronze bush running in water unlubricated, we use a modern sealed stainless double row bearing with modern water seals, the first pump was made for a 2- litre saloon about 17 years ago & is believed to be still running well.
I understand we are the only company making completely new parts , a certain repair company is advertising for old water pump bodies which we would never do as we have our own casting patterns & use LM25TF aluminium.
All of our engine parts are made from best quality material & machined to a high standard, castings are made from our own tooling.
Owners should have confidence that new engine parts are available for these wonderful engines.

Robin does the new pump also fit the Buckland? If so,what are you charging for one?

[Robin A Woolmer]

The Water Pumps will fit all Post War Weller Engines.
They are basically made to the AC Drawings with modified bearings, shafts & pulleys!

I recently purchased a PVT AC and found that the water pump bearings were completely gone, and am sharing my experience in case it helps anyone else. The pulley of the pump had seized, and when I freed it off there was at least 1/4 inch of vertical movement in the pulley! The engine on my car had an expensive rebuild around 15 years ago, which included fitting a brand new water pump. I suspect it may be a Rod Briggs pump, but do not know for sure. Sadly the seals on the pump had failed, and water had been leaking into the bearings for a long period of time. Ian Irving-Fynn was able to fit his new shaft/bearing/seal assembly into the casting body of my "new" pump. It is back in the car and working as it should. He very kindly turned the job around in the space of a week before his holiday. It seems that there are now limited options for replacing / repairing these pumps and so I can recommend Ian. See attached picture and video of the repaired pump.

Having met Ian at one of our national days I was impressed enough to entrust the rebuild of my PVT water pump to him . I have not regretted the decision . Having used the car a fare amount over the last few years I can report that it does not leak , the bearings are still functioning as they should and the water temperature has dropped by 10n Degrees . Thankyou Ian
