Dave Bean Engineering Inc. Official Lotus Vintage Parts Distributor Removable Water Pump Assembly for Lotus twin cam engine We got tired -- very tired -- of dealing with everyone else's version of the removable water pump assemblies. So, we made our own! 026K 8601 .......................$749.00......(updated 12-16-13) ITS ADVANTAGES!!! It actually FITS!!! So many others require various fettling and hacking about with files and reamers, etc. The insert is actually removable! After being on the car for 5 years (and it should be), you can still get ours out of the front cover. Everyone else's is usually corroded on. Very careful attention was paid to seal the coolant from the locating registers to prevent corrosive buildup and bonding. True "road side" replacement. Jacking bolt bosses are provided to draw out the insert. No pullers or slam hammers required --which you can't use anyway without removing the engine. The front cover is secured to the block independently of the water pump. You won't compromise the cover seal when removing the pump. The W/P mechanicals are heavier duty than originals. Durability is improved. So you may never even need the quick change features! It's race proven.
