Is this a replacement water pump? (Late XK120)

Good eye - you must be referencing the pic I posted 4 days ago in the Virtual car show thread. Also a good question. I don’t know the answer, Rob, or at least can’t remember. I painted it and the case way back in 1992 when I changed out the seals. It probably had a smattering of black paint on it so I figured it was supposed to be completely covered. Not going to change it now, though.

Fabulous tidbit! I was wondering about that … how I was going to figure out how to rebalance the thing.

You’re right. It’s C4938, Bob, and what looks like Q23 above.
