[C320-list] Perkins M30 Raw Water Pump

[Mark Haralson]

Thank you for the info Dave, that was exactly what I was looking for.  I
bought the rebuild kit to service the old pump and keep it for a spare.  I
did not get an O-ring with the new pump and did not see that item on the
web site where I purchased the new pump.  Do you have a source for that
o-ring?

Thanks again for all the help
Mark
