Sujit, 

I used a seal from Rimmers on my Stag water pump; no experience with the TR6 
seal from TRF.  Be advised though that you may have to machine the brass cage 
that the seal fits into to accept the seal.  I rebuilt mine about 10 years ago, 
so maybe the seals are better today, but I had to have the brass cage that the 
seal fits into machined a few thousanths to accept the seal.  I had bought a 
rebuilt pump at the same time and it had just been forced together with no 
quality control check and would barely turn due to the same issue; seal wouldnt 
fit into the cage, so they just forced it together with a press. Ruined my 
timing chain within5,000 miles.  Fortunately I caught it, replaced that chain 
and I rebuilt my original pump instead.  Been fine ever since and no leaks.

Frank
