Little update on 2818s troublesome waterpump.
Today I received a new seal, plates, bearings and impeller.
Only thing is which was a surprise to the supplier, the diameter of my impeller shaft isn't what it supposed to be.
Now I have to take the bearings off the shaft and make a new one.
Parts are very hard to get anymore.
Never mind, we will get there.

All the original screws were corroded away on the back of this pump.
I remade new ones modifying hex head screws and turning them into countersunk type
