Title: RD water pump housing.
Post by: hampster on March 03, 2009, 06:24:48 pm: Hi,

I have a 83 250 with the old problem of the corrosion in the water pump housing area its into the gears and has been fixed before.

Has any one got a fix for this problem?

Thanks Chris.

I used to do pumps from new with it.

It is into the gears and the holes are about 4 to 5 mm in size.

I will try to find a better one that will be ezy as ha ha.

If i can not find a cover the old devcon will be the trick.

Chris.
