Electric Coolant Pump

[ibrooks]

That's the same as the Mercedes ones I'm watching on ebay.

 

It's not quite a Cox GTM - it's a GTM Coupe so an evolution of it. If your Cox was an early one it may have had the straight top to the windscreen - later cars had a curved aperture which added strength to the front of the roof.

 

When using a Mini engine the water pump is on it's limit. I'm in unknown territory as I've fitted a Nissan CG13 from a Micra so the pump may be fine or it may need assistance just with the radiator pipes. Either way it's not the only reason I want to make a change - as I've said there's a shortage of room in the back half of the tunnel and more so where the pipes/cables exit the tunnel and have to turn up or sideways around the engine. Partly that's due to the new engine having an exhaust there whereas the Mini lump had one down the rear of the engine.

 

I've ordered a pump for hot water circulation in a solar power system. It's continuously rated, 12v and says it can handle over 100degC so should hopefully do the job. It's also a whole lot smaller than most of the automotive stuff and it's costing less than £6 including postage. We'll see if it copes when it gets used in anger - if not then it's five and a bit quid down the hole and I'll look at something more expensive.

-> Water pumps (in motorsport) - a choice of 10 from £70 (might be cheaper elsewhere)
