I just added these to the website - electric water pump brackets. These work with the Moroso/Jegs/Summit style conversion kits. The bracket is custom designed (by me) to fit the common block water pump housing. It's 3/16" (0.19") thick aluminum, black anodized. The bracket is small enough that it will require using a shorter belt than comes with the Moroso kit (L050-187 vs. 210). And, you'll probably want to use a bigger pulley on the motor to keep the pump speed up.

I put these up for $30 and I only have 4 for sale right now. If they sell well, I'll consider getting more done.

Please excuse the dirty WP housing. It's my mock-up part.

Still have these. I've been racing it since Mid-July. About a dozen or so 1/4 mile passes with it and no problems. I thought I might need the larger pulley, but it works fine with the pulley in the Moroso kit...

Easy to cool the car off between rounds. It might run a hair cooler, hard to tell. I'm sure it gave me a little top end power not having to spin the pump.

I guess its on 12v switched to the key with an override? nice setup, I hadnt really thought about the run while the car is off option

That's the main reason I went this way. The car heat soaks betwen rounds without it. When you get to running later rounds, there's not enough time to let it cool down just by popping open the hood.

I run it thru the stock A/C clutch relay, I just switch the 12V on the coil side of the relay, rather than it running thru the fan relay.

Do you have the PN of the universal pump from Moroso/Jegs or any of them?
