Only difference I can make out is that mine has 3 bolt holes and that mine give the water system a high point for bleeding air out better? Where\'s your filler neck?

Where\'s your filler neck?

On top of the rad.

They come in both 2 and 3 bolt design. Much cleaner.

There\'s not much in it to be honest. I really like how mine looks and it\'s o ringed too. I\'m having the filler neck just after the outlet, hopefully this will be my highest point in the cooling system, then I will be using solid pipe, not silicone, down to the EWP then to the rad, from rad to inlet side in sold pipe too. Going to look much better than silicone piping.

I think if I would have looked for other option for the water inlet/outlet I would have had something else, probably like the one you posted but I can never be arsed searching around for cheaper alternatives. I went with the xtreme rotaries stuff as I remembered someone on ausrotary got parts from them

[Grant Monkhouse]

My radiator is going to lower than the top of the engine too so I can\'t have a filler neck on the radiator:(

What rad are you using?

[Grant Monkhouse]

eBay special. Worked great on my fd, should work great on this setup

You know EWPs don\'t like being hard mounted, right?

no i didnt, do you mean solid mounted on its fixing points? there will be a silicone joiner between the solid pipes and the pump if thats what your referring too?
 
thanks for the advice though:Thumbsup!

just found this on craig david website.
 
How and where do I fit the Electric Water Pump?
Both EWP®80 and EWP®115 Electric Water Pumps fit most makes and models and mount into the bottom radiator hose. You just cut out 100mm (4 inches) of hose and let the EWP in. The existing water pump housing is still required as an inlet into the engine block, or a blanking plate can be manufactured to bolt up to the block with an inlet for the radiator house to replace the old pump. It is recommended that you do not ‘hard mount’ your Electric Water pump. When firmly fixed to the chassis or engine, the EWP® may bow which disturbs the shaft seal and may cause a leak and not reseal when the EWP® cools. The EWP®115 weighs only 980 grams, therefore the radiator hose is more than capable of holding your lightweight EWP®. Should it be necessary to mount the pump we recommend you use rubber ‘cotton reel’ type mounts to help cushion the pump against vibration and you can use the extra holes around the perimeter of the base of the EWP for this purpose. A supplementary mounting plate can also be used for mounting purposes. Both kits come complete with all the necessary components required for easy installation and a comprehensive DIY instruction booklet.

 
thanks for heads up drtool, much appreciated

The inlet housing (whre you have connected your water hoses to the top of the front plate) that replaces where the old water pump goes, where did you get that from? Im thinking of going electric water pump saves me fabbing one up
