austin loadstar general questions

The pump is pretty straight forward......keyed pulley and impeller and replceable ball bearings(no heavy press fits)...note there is a snap ring in the front bearing bore..........the seal looks a bit odd though......but it will be the same as Austin car ones ,and no doubt available from vintage car parts suppliers in England.....If you have a lathe,I find its better to rework the housing/impeller for one of the Bearing Service ceramic types that only cost $15,and never wear out.

Hi Connor
The later 4l motors have a pump with press fit hub and impeller had a bloke machined the housing and fitted a generic shaft and seal from memory I think about $150 I was going to have a go at doing it myself but he had done a few and had the contacts to get the right bits
I can get you his contact details if your interested he is in Toowoomba Queensland so depending where you are might not be suitable
