Has far as I now there are no books or anything about these pumps.
They were badged as Amanco as well, they are very simple to restore.
Take close up photos so you can always look at them when putting back together.
If you have problems get drop of to me and I will restore it for you I do not charge for my time Laughing
Thats the best part I dont do Shows my Engines are here if any one wants to take them out

These Climax water pumps were, as far as I am aware, nothing to do with Coventry Climax. I think that they were made in Worcester. I have a horizontal plunger type pump with an enclosed crank, which is the first mechanical "thing" I restored. I can still remember the reaction from my mother when I turned up with it on a sack truck which I had borrowed from the tatter from whom I had bought the pump for 5/-. I was about 13 at the time and my dad managed to persuade my mum that I should be allowed to keep it; as an engineer he was keen to encourage me.
