RE: [DMCForum] Water pumps

As I said earlier, The pumps I sell are OE Volvo made in Italy and made
for
the B??F engine. As far as the center shaft, Yes that was done for Volvo
and
the 1" doesn't hurt anything it actually helps in some cases. I can get
them
with the smaller shaft, but I like the longer one.  Again it can also be
cut
off if necessary. Quality, High with no problems and a perfect fit and I
can
keep the price low.
As you know,  if production of a certain type of engine isn't high enough,
all car manufactures will use another brand of  product so they don't have
to recast for one item. Volvo, Peugeot, Delorean and who else uses the
same
pump I sell. You have good access to Renault since your over there, but
what
would it cost over here.
Yes, Rob and I work together on pulley's. Why would I want to turn my own
when he has already done it. That's working together which I feel would
benefit the Delorean community,  but as we know some Delorean part sellers
won't and don't. They want to sail there own boat and try to get rid of
all
vendors. Then you have no price to compare to and no one else to beat up
on.

  Perhaps I shouldn't have used the term "much better" - apologies for
that.

  I am not saying your pumps are poor quality. You may think they are the
  same but they are not - and definitely not made on the same production
  line. We had them side by side earlier today. The Renault pumps are the
  correct pump for the DeLorean engine in every way. I am _not_ trying to
  compete - we don't sell to the US market. Our only choice is a generic
  (ie not OEM) Volvo pump (without back plate), or a genuine Renault pump,
  or import from the US. The Ren pump ends up slightly more expensive but
  comes with a fitted brand new back plate.and the correct length shaft
  making fitting the pulley a doddle. Which one would you use, given the
  choice? The same choice you made when deciding to sell Volvo thermostats
  probably.

  Now, back to the plot - you get your pulleys from Rob, don't you?
