    Dear Husdon friends !
    This is what I found so far to replace my original ET8(33 water pump, I have no idea from what car it comes exactly but I only hope it will do the job once refurbished, bearings seems dead (seal most probaly also) but so far I'm happy with it..







    Today, I helped a Renault 1960 back on the road by reparing the ignition, nice trial-run afterwards ! Just great !:)

    It was impossible to disassemble this pump properly in order to rebuilt it so during the coming weeks with the help of my brother we plan to machine a new pump, custom made.
    In case the casted pump project is still going on, I'm stil interested in order to get a pump more close to original !

    ROC means what? And where are they? I do have a single T-8 lens and a pair of 16" 4-bolt wheels. Probably some other "junk" here too.

    If you bore that block out to 3", you can order new pistons from Dale Cooper

    Thanks Arkiejazz for the hint !
    I was lucky to get a piston from M. Lester J Harris !
    I also purchased a set of lenses from M. Donald Axelrod, a set of original wire wheels could be interesting of course, is there anything else ?
    I need mainly a waterpump to get the car back on the road...

    Terraplane 33,
    where a bout's are you located, I emailed a company yesterday about your head light glass and he has a pair of them in perfect condition gave all the sizes etc you put on the thread this is his reply

    Hello Paul, we do have these in perfect New Old Stock condition. They are $179 each lens.
    Shipping to New Zealand is expensive but I have had great success with the US Post office global priority mail.
    Although they say it will get to you within 6-10 days, it usually takes about 15 or so. These lenses are large and convex so I have to use the largest flat rate box they have.
    This cost is $61.00 and I require that you add insurance too so that will be based upon if you buy one or two. (Same cost for one or two lenses.)

    if you are interested send me an email and will give you his email address

    Never mind Essexcoupe3131 and thanks for trying to help me !!

    I have a question I posted under 'all makes' so I got no reply, maybe it's better just to add it here :

    My rear side windows show some yellow colouring, I would like to remove the glass and order it new. I will need to remove the door panel but don't know how to remove the handles. Any help/picture or explanation will be very much appreciated !
