Austin K2 parts required

Richard Farrant · #1 11-09-04, 17:14

I am in need of a few parts for an Austin K2 ambulance, with the 3.5 litre engine, namely;
a cam follower
a speedo drive gear for the gearbox, 16 teeth
a rubber seal for the water pump

The first two items can be good used parts, but the seal needs to be new unused. If anyone can help or knows someone who can please send me a message.

Richard

I am not sure, but I thing in the water pump isn´t rubber seal. I will check the parts catalog.
On the ebay is a man from Cyprus and he has rebuild kits for water pumps.

Richard. If your water pump is anything like the ones on my Autin Tilly and Morris PU. Then they have a ceramic gland seal. I have only ever found one firm able to restore them. give me a shout if you need details. Ron

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the reply ( also to Radek), but that was a post I put up 5 years ago ! I got over the cam follower problem, a very good company down your way made an excellent job, Cox & Turner. The pumps do have rubber seals, the ceramic or carbon seal is the dynamic part, there has to be a rubber seal to seal between shaft and back of the carbon disc, much the same as a Bedford 28 hp pump. Cannot even recollect where I did get the seal from now

regards, Richard

here are scans from maintenance manual and list of spare parts for K30, it is the same.

Radek,

The item, 2H2799 is the rubber seal that seals the carbon to the shaft. I was able to find one from another make of engine, but as it was 5 years ago, I do not remember now, but do know it seals perfectly.

Thanks for your input here.

Oh blimey Richard! I just followed the thread without looking at your post date. Yes I know Cox and Turner well. Old school machinists. They have helped me out quite a few times. They are currently working on a Harley XA crank for me. Ron

Not to worry Ron. When I saw my thread on the "New posts" tonight, I could not think what it was about. It is surprising how many old posts to come to the surface again.
