Wanted: pictures of auxiliary water pump installation

Wanted: pictures of auxiliary water pump installation

The auxiliary water pump is secured with string in the engine bay and my other B18E doesn't have it for me to do a bit of comparative maintenance. I think the bracket is there (although bent) and the hole on the suspension turret. I'd just like someone to confirm how it goes together. I think I must be missing a spacer.

This is what I have:

Actually while looking at the parts book for hoses I noticed that the bracket above was only used up till 541515, which is sometime in 1989 according to the Vin Reader page, after that it was a clamp which your picture does show, just not bolted to anything.

However mine has the bracket and a later number than 541516 so who knows.

Hmm, that is odd.

I have two options. There's an F-reg at Lake's which I was hoping to get when I next go by. If not Sylvia knows someone breaking a car but it's not quite available yet. 

I am chassis number 507274‎

Thanks for the info mate‎

Sorry miss-read my parts book it’s the other way round which makes sense as my other later car also has the bracket.

So up to 541515 had the clamp
541516 on had the bracket.

And annoyingly it looks like the pump was turned round at the same time so the hoses to it are different.

I’m getting a little confused reading the parts manual about the pump and hoses.

As far as I can make out the B18E didn’t have a pump till 541516 but the B18F always had it if yours is 507274 is it an F?
