where to get water pump seals

[Rick Kirchner]

Bought a new pump, prepped it for my installation and the addition of a Racemate impeller. Then the Racemate guy got sick and I don't see ever getting one, so I need to put it back together.

Seal seems to have gotten a bit goobered up on removal and I need a new one. Does anyone know where to get one other than those E-bay thieves selling NOS parts from the 70s for $25?

You've probably thought of this, but does the seal have any numbers on it that you can cross-reference and search for?

Not knowing exactly what engine you are working with, if it's ford based, you might check with Dave Bean Engineering,

Rick,

As a heads up, Dave passed a while back but the company is still going. BUT, they sold all of their Pinto 2.0 stuff to Pegasus many years ago.
i got a no to every pinto part I asked for maybe 5 years ago.
Last Pinto water pump I bought was from RockAuto.

I have a NOS pump - the cast iron one used in the cosworth. I just took it apart for a part I don't think I'll ever see.

I might write the family of the race mate guy, offer to buy up all the 2L parts inventory. I'll post pics here of what you can see of the impeller I got 10 years ago. It truly makes a difference.

You might contact "Flowkooler", they make a number of fancy pumps.
