VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Dear All,

I own a 1933 canada-built flathead (750 body style)

I need to rebuild my water pumps. I have identified rebuild kits.
One question though:

Can someone tell how the pulley gets secured to the shaft.

The shaft included in the rebuild kit has the hole drilled but there is none on the pulley.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Max

if you cleaned the pulleys real well and can see no pins in them,
they are pressed on, becareful pressing the pulleys off,
one wrong move and the pulleys will break, made out of I believe that year were cast iron,
but could also be steel
do you know what material they are made out of?
if they are pressed on you should not be able to use the pins,
I see no way you would be able to drill out the pulleys to get them inine to install the pins,
hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN,
I sent mine to SKIP for rebuilding,
was worth the money,,,

Rebuilding any waterpumps requires special tools to ream and resurface the pump bodies. Skip Haney is considered to be the best in the business, and you will get back the pumps you send him. Without the tools, kits are mostly useless.

Thanks guys for your help and tips.
Identified pumps from Reds Headers. Has anyone tried them ?

I do not know what metal/alloy the pulleys are made of but studying the matter with a machining specialist.

Not based in the US so getting the pumps to Skip Haney is likely to be cumbersome and somehow expensive. I will ask for a quote anyway as he is highly recommended by many flathead owners.

All the best
Max

If that can help other owners in need of pumps, most vendors are out of stock for the rebuild kits.

Reds Headers do sell new pumps @ 99$. I have ordered two and they are good.
Beware the pumps are sold without grease fitting and without temp sending hole nut. the Russell part number 662050 will do the job.

The in-head type water pumps are getting very scarce, and if you ruin it trying to get it apart, as often happens, it won't be worth the effort. In most cases, the pulleys are cast, and without the tools and skill, they break like glass. We use Skip, and I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem sending them anywhere. Red's Headers was run for many years by Red Hamilton, but since has been sold. Red knew his stuff. Perhaps he new owners do, too. Skip's e-mail is skip@fordsrus.com

Im in Australia and guys here have sent stuff to Skip and have nothing but praise for his work. The freight is fairly minor to the overall project.

Hello,
Thanks to all for the help and advice provided.
Reds delivered the pumps and everything was OK with them. The pulleys are slightly narrower than original so had to fit a longer belt to adjust.
Drove 200+ miles since they were installed and no problem to report.
Cheers.

Dear All V8 enthusiasts,
Just a quick update on water pumps.
Items supplied by Red's once the sole source for modern repros of the pumps are also available from Macs < I have not tested them though.

Red's pumps have proven to be reliable with improved cooling capacity (compared to original pumps) probably due to impeller design. However use caution when packing with grease as excess pressure will damage the pump and cause leaks.

Anyone here tested Mac's pumps ?
Regards
