A handfull of questions regarding replacement water pumps for a nice driver car posing as a correct detailed vintage original.
New water pump sourced locally, new casting so no casting numbers or date stamps.
First question: Is the backing plate which is the access to the impeller and bearing painted or left natural?
Second Question: Is the heater hose screw on fitting available that appears somewhat factory looking ? If so, please provide link. I've heard Dorman has them but not close to original.
Third question: The shaft and fan mounting block stays unpainted and left natural, correct?
Thanks.
