:thumbsup: You got it Ant
i thought about doing that but had no pump. Anyway i made an ally plate with 3/4 plumbing fixtures. Check out my build thread or pop a request on here for photos.
I have spare stock ally i used so could manufacture another, getting quite good on my milling machine now...the more i do the better i should get.
Sunday will be mostly making anti-roll bars!!!!!!
Oh and i think i may have a pump if you want it, no good to me now!!

I've got the water pump you need but by the time shipping and all that was covered I'm certain you could buy one at the local parts store....

Ant,
I originally did the same with Ally plate and had bosses onto the timing cover, but that was when I had a Meziere pump with twin outlets. Unfortunately one of their employees 'never received it' when I sent it back for reconditioning so I was left with just the housing. So I have now opted for a Davies Craig unit. I know a lot of people have debated the pluses and minuses of said unit, but that is what I have. Unfortunately, it only as it has only a single outlet/inlet, I have to find a way to mix the water from either side of the block in a neficient way, and I thought why not use an old water pump with the impellor removed and welded up. Personally, I'd like to try an ally one; whilst I have an original cast iron pump, it still weighs a bit. Thanks for the pffers all. I'll follow-up.

I am also building around the Davies Craig Unit. My plate has 3/4 BSP female threads (Taps of EBAY for less than 10quid) and so purchased s/s 3/4 BSP male/male coupler from a plumbers merchant and will use washing machine hose for mock up as these hoses are only rated to around 85deg and then source s/s braided hose that has a higher temp rating. as for splitting the flow, use 3/4 plumbing fittings/ 35mm copper pipe/silicone hose to cobble it together whilst trying to make it look neat and tidy.
I am near M3/M4 berkshire, so Essex isn't too far if you want to pick the pump up and an/or tyre kick a solution with plumbing catalogues...
