This is the water pump in my '1960 Newcastle' van. I can't see any markings anywhere on the pump...  |

This is the water pump from an old Millard van. I never saw the van, so I don't know how old it is...   I haven't done any research to find out anything about the manufacturer. |

These 'plastic' water pumps were commonly used throughout the 1970s, or even during the very late '60s. They may be found in older vans as a replacement for the original pump that carked it. This one is a Trojan brand (new)...   These can be seen in vans in either a white or brown colour. New ones are still available from caravan parts suppliers, for example here. One of the problems with this type of pump is the corrosion that takes place on the inner aluminium tubing. The following photo is of a pump I dismantled from a 1977 Millard. The pump had considerable corrosion in the area circled, to the point where holes had gone through the wall of the tube...  |

Hi,
Yes the one in the castle is similar. Just not quite right.

Hi there This is the pump I have - has an interior caliper measurement of about 1 3/4". Has a small BRIGGS stamped into the arm connecting the body and the pump arm.    Mother in Law looks thrilled to be in the picture.  Seeshell |

Hi all
Wondering whether anyone has an old spare tap/pump for sale? My van was built in the 40's and the new shiny aluminium/plastic one looks very untidy.
Thanks
Iain
