Default Kling's h2o adaptor Q...

Earlier this year I spoke with Mr. Kling (Turlock swap mt), about an adaptor that he made to allow putting a fan on the front of an early V8 water pump. Kling stated that he hasn't made this adaptor for a number of yrs. , for a lack of sales.

Has anyone here ever owned/used such adaptor and can you show pictures of this adaptor ? Bob C , a member here showed me two pictures but not sure from those what the design/shape/specs are. I am in need of such an adaptor and figured maybe get help here. Already discussion on Early V8 sister site.
BTW...Kling said that it is not likely that he will make another run of these.

Hey Derek,
Seems like everything has gone to NZ these days ! Just realized why you are always hauling tractor trailers around the USA !

Thanks for responding with help. I also want to ask you some Questions re: your V8 QC. My Model A QC is quiet as a mouse in the intake manifold, but maybe moving up in size ?

I'll give you PM on 'spare one', as I have questions on this also.

If you are talking about the adapter shown in the photos in the link on post #3, we have some for A heads and for the B heads.

Hey Steve,
Your a good guy for trying to help me out here !

If you look at Bob's two pictures closely, you will note that this shows a V8 pump...WITH A FAN adaptor on the front ! Early V8 pumps do not come with any fan mount. Dennis Cling used to make sure fan adaptor. He has not made them for years now.
I got a lead on two such fan adaptors. I've also got several of the adaptors that adapt differing pumps (A/B/early V8) to different heads...adaptor also shown in Bob's pictures.
