Default Re: Water pump won't fit now.

Well I work on this fitting up this morning and have figured it out. Pump will not fit over studs,mounting holes are off significantly enough that it will not fit past the fine thread end of the studs. May work with bolts or drilling mounting holes much larger but they are off quite a bit. Bratton's ofcourse say that I am the first and only one to have had this issue and even though origin was Bratton's to Mac's they cannot and willnot offer a refund or replacement. I actually bought this from another Model A guy who probably had the same problem. I was getting ready to buy a pump he had one for sale,not any cheaper actually but at the time Bratton's were out of stock. I figured he was helping me and I was helping him. Oh well at least I have new parts other than the housing I can use.
