My buddy has been struggling with a 1912 International High Wheeler for a while.
His only unsolved problem now is the water pump.
He has had it welded locally a couple of times but it falls apart after assembly or while running. I fear it is to far gone for welding repairs now.
Jay Leno had an episode where he 3-D printed this same pump. I remembered it because it was while my friend was struggling with this one.
My inclination is to get a custom casting made and finish machine it. Obviously it is complex and that won't be cheap. Since Jay already made one, I would love to try to get another. Anyone have any idea how to reach him?
Anyone know any resources where I might be able to find a pump? Apparently these International Twins were pretty popular in the day, I am thinking that someone might have one.
We will make one if we have to - but I'd rather buy one.
