Re: Water Pump Seal for '51 Packard 288

Just to add a bit of extra information . . . noticed a photo of the Max Merritt kit for the '51 pump, and there is either a washer / thrust washer to use on the impeller end, or more likely a replacement for the bushing on fan end, in their kit. Difficult to tell from that view of the parts. Their seal looks similar to the one I removed from my second pump (- incomplete seal). I guess I could ask them to trot a kit out, and measure the overall depth of the seal. Then again, they might tell me to not waste their time!

Does 'fortune favour the brave'?
