I thought this would have been sorted by now-
The MGB 5 main and 3 main water pumps are NOT interchangeable- the differences
in castings will not allow them to be mounted. I learned this about 5 years
back when the 3 main pump was discontinued, and un-available for a time. I had
2 different suppliers ship a 5 main pump instead of 3 main. Then someone
started reproducing the 3 main style again, thank goodness- they got very
expensive for a few months!
