Why not try Independant Motorcycle Werckers in Toowoomba- Warren should have a pump for you- he's pretty reasonable pricing wise too.

Yeah saw Warren on monday all he has is some 2nd hand ones that he reckons are probably in the same kinda state, he suggested them as a last resort !, and if I cant turn anything up here I might just end up going that way !
Thanks for the reply

hmmmm
piccie attached
by the looks, there are 2 seals
- a gasket seal for the front outlet and a rear oring
to seal the back
so
Bryan,
where is it leaking..?
coz there are only 4 possible places...
pinhole in body or cover (alloy has corroded)
out thru the bearing
out thru the oring
out thru the front plate gasket
more info pleeze mate

There is a "drainage outlet passage" at the bottom of the pump, and its leaking from there, both the O rings have been replaced so I can only assume it is the bearing seals that are gone, just took it for a quick test and it is not leaking badly but bad enough to worry ! so yeah looks like I need to either get it recond or a new one !
Bloody thing

Now its slowed right up but its now a coolant/oil mix which is a worry, must be seeping thru the bearing, Ok the question still stands does anybody know where I could get it recond ??
Thanks for the help so far guy's !
much appreciated
