mark99 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 It appears I just need to cover. The base unit and impellor seem fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Is that on one of the 1990s ones? I did wonder at the time about the quality control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark99 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thanks. No reply to Gardner tel number and their online inquiry system does not work either but have emailed both them and Gardner Spares. Will try Tangent although iirc, they are based in Ireland and I need this cover asap. They day is not completely wrecked. Its not often one gets to genuinely use the word "spigot".

They are based in NI. Not the other side of the world?. I know they generally have a number of engines in a state of reconditioning and repair. what about Redshaw engineering in Braunston. If they don’t have one perhaps they could make one? Marine Power Services? I think that is their name and I think they may be on here. My memory issues may have got the name wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark99 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) It's deffo bodge-able. I can bang in some copper pipe, epoxy putty, gaffer tape etc and will be the contingency plan. It appears to be a type 15 pump cover. There are numerous types of cover. Edited August 1, 2020 by mark99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, I was going to say the same but thought I would read the post first. The chap down the road from me retired last year and disposed of most of his gear, he would have sorted it in an hour, I have seen him do exhaust bends and alli props.
