[alfa] Re: Water Pumps

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As some of you may recall, an Australian digester mentioned some time ago 
that the aftermarket pumps they get down under say "Bugatti" on them and 
last "forever."  Well, after close to two months of emails and phone calls, 
a Bugatti Autoricambi water pump showed up at my doorstep today.  Even if 
it doesn't last forever, it only cost $60, which is less than what people 
charge for the Saleri pumps that are readily available in the USA.  This is 
great for me, since I'm on the verge of replacing or rebuilding my engine, 
and am planning on installing a new water pump.  This isn't so great if 
your water pump fails and you want a new one overnight, because going this 
route will take at least a month, as I found out.  What we need to do is 
convince one or more of our favorite vendors to order these pumps in bulk 
(the guy didn't seem to thrilled to be selling one pump to an individual, 
and billing a credit card) and retail them to us.  Bill, Bruce?  Email me 
if you want the distributor's contact information.
