Who is interested in a new 89 type water pump shaft?

Thanks Ryan. Very much appreciated. I think you made a superior product that will last longer with the materials you used. Plus they are so affordable. I'm in for anything you do in the future sir and like I said before, if there's anything I can do to help, give me a shout. Thanks again.

Thanks Anthony.

I want to apologize to everyone who bought one. I simply could not afford to send them in a special Honda ziplock baggy. I tried to acquire the special Honda black sharpie, but the bank said my credit score was not high enough. I hope you guys will overlook this, and still enjoy this product. :smoking

Hey Ryan, I have lots of unused new ziplock parts bags in stock. Just let me know and I will send you a pack of 100. Carlos is charging $80 for used shafts now!

If he's charging $80 for used then you better ramp up production and undercut the crap out of him!

I hate to admit it but I have to agree with Carlos on this one.

[udontknowme]

it does make sense to have the seal as the primary wear item and not the shaft.

Regardless, I won't support him or his business. If I was Kenny or Selvy I would be embarrassed to work with him.

If either of you don't like mine, feel free to avoid them. Feel free to buy from Carlos instead. I offered a solution when there was not one. And it works just fine. I really don't need or care about either one of your approvals or what you think about it.

I do not buy from Carlos.  I have a lot of unhappy customers that have done business with him.

I was agreeing with Carlos on his selection of a heat treatable steel and not using 304 stainless steel for his water pump shafts.  Honda engineers knew what they were doing and would have made it cheaper if their testing proved that they could have eliminated the heat treat process and a grinding operation by using a material that used less expensive manufacturing operations.  Stainless steel is just corrosion resistant and not strong and hard like 8620 or some of the other highly used heat treatable steels.

@rablack21 are these still available?

Thanks

Just sold my last 2 on Friday, but considering doing another run of them.

[supernutt]

Any progress on the matching impellers?  I bought 2 impellers last run and have been waiting for the impellers

[rablack21]

I finished the testing of the oem impeller. I haven’t gotten around to testing my designed one. Life seems to get  in the way. I need to get back on it.

Good for you on making the water pump shafts!...I just read back thru some previous comments....What these guys don't seem to understand the writing is on the wall and oem water pump shafts are going to become scarce just like other parts on our R's....I applaud your efforts in making more of these and when they are available give me a shout....I'll buy a couple from you....Thanks....Jeff
