some of you know,, but i found out today, the water pump bearing and shaft are one, the parts place had two pumps, one packard, the other golden hawk, both cast impellers. ,, but one had a shaft boot legged, cause it was short on impeller side,

i think water pump bearings used now for packard, are random, in lenght, my pump that came off of car you could see where shaft was cut,

so now its off to find a bearing reference chart, so my plan to use stainlees is out, unless i check a marine repair place,

the auto parts place did have a steel impeller too, no idea what car, it was on the water pump, but turned in,

but when i find a plastic impeller, i am going to get these cast in brass,, think alum, will give up..
