Hmmm thinking about it I think you're right... I think it's the backing plate for the idlers I'm thinking of.

Sorry to confuse  :y

Just changed my pattern water pump (with metal impeller) after only 12,000 miles, leaking and noisy bearings.  Changed for GM model, hopefully will last a little longer!

Recently brought a new QH water pump which included the O ring seal for £27 off ebay :y

Was advised that was a decent and good manufacturer so think I had a good buy  ;)

There are a couple of very generous and worthy members who could and would do this for me. One of them still might, even at one of the meets if I can make it. As always cost is a factor and as I live in NI, I have to cross the dearest stretch of water known to man! Was maybe, just maybe, considering having a go myself.
Ultimately I'll probably end up begging one of the experts though  :-X

Not quite... The Isle of Wight ferry is the most expensive (per mile) in the country, but I know what you mean :y

Sounds about right for a pattern cambelt kit. I use the contitech kits from buypartsby.

GM V6 cambelt is about £130 on TC, thus I use quality pattern.

That was from buypartsby but there was no manufacturer listed, I don't think.
