Aluminum Water neck for EWP and Side-Mount Alternator

I plan to go with a EWP(electric water pump) setup with a side-mount alternator and need help finding parts that are readily available for this conversion.

http://www.rotary-works.com/mm5/merc...gory_Code=RADI

Will this work for a FD or FC only?

If not, any company out there makes a similar product?

BTW i emailed them, just waiting for a reply.

Another question, is there any side-mount alternator kits out there for the FD? Everything i find is for the FC and found multiple threads saying the FC version will not work with the FD.

Custom making these parts shouldn't be to hard but if it's already available i wouldn't mind paying for it.



Thanks

The one for $40 looks much promising... Bump on this thread, it would be nice if some one shines some info on the side mount alternator bracketry for the FD..

The easiest way to go EWP will be to, cut your existing water pump's shaft with a saw saw right behind the round part where the pulley bolts up to with the pump bolted on to the car, then remove water pump and pull the prop out with cut shaft, then plug that whole somehow and re install modded EWP plate, beats having two extra lines... Then mount the EWP on the lowest point in line with the lower radiator hose then, PRESTO ! That is what I will do. I had an actual EWP plate for my RX8 engine and two long lines coming out from it to route the pump real low and it was a lot of extra lineage in the bay...
