>From Bill's post you can see that there are many variations of water pump that can fit on a PRV. It is always easier and more convenient to order the CORRECT one from one of the Delorean venders. They can also get you all of the other small parts, seals, hoses, etc that you WILL need. In some cases even if you can find a part locally it might be cheaper from a "D" vender. Besides, if you buy parts from a vender you can get all the phone support you need. How would you feel if you got that pump that didn't fit and called one of the venders up? The first thing you would have to say is you bought it on E-Bay! If you know what you are doing and are willing to "take a chance" then it can be an option but you can't expect one of the venders to help! As for silicone hoses YES, they are worth it. You cannot retighten the hose clamps on many of the small hoses under the intake manifold so using silicone removes that problem. I am not sure if all venders offer silicone. I know P J Grady does in their kit.
