Over here I got some from O'Neill about seven years ago and have had no problems with then, if that helps. https://www.oneillvintageford.co.uk

I believe Ross Prince in Hervey Bay still has them available. I am sure someone here knows his contact details as he has been around for 30 odd years.

Thanks, Dave, Stephen and Don for the replies,

Ill do some investigating with those leads.

The single pulley reproduction pumps are relatively inexpensive, and feature the bearing on the shaft and modern seal. I have wondered if it would be possible to make up new pulleys to install in place of the single pulleys, or even if the double pulleys would press onto the repro waterpumps.

Hi all; I have to measure, but suspect that the only difference is a longer shaft. Easily fabricated. The Fryer pumps have a new ceramic seal installation and a new improved turbine. Newc

Dave can you tell us about "Fryer"???
Do the old pumps take a modern seal? Can any one make suggestions on seals and impellors? The bearing shouldn't be too hard to source?
Looks like double pulley pumps are not so common any more.
