aveling e type water pump

[single speed]

Jamie,

I would recommend fitting a second injector instead of a pump. Aveling pumps are a pain the backside, as they are not circulating. Got 2 injectors on our e-type and its lovely!

Would be interested to see how this is mounted (at the clack box end), I had been thinking along similar lines (i.e. two injetors) but the mouting pad arrangements had put me off a little.

My dear old 'E' type lost it's pump in the 1930's when it was frosted. Buncombe's fitted a standard Aveling clack valve directly to the boiler pad by cutting off the studs for the pump, then redrilling and tapping for the new studs to fit the replacement clack valve. Many Avelings of this period were sent out new from Rochester with two injectors fitted, including those purchased by Eddisons. Sandy
