hi guys just dumb me is the luv g161 water pump able to fit the 1600 gt motor ..3 bearing ??? cheers davo

I'm not sure Davo, I'll have to have a look. I imagine being a 3 bearing, your G160 motor would have the teardrop sedan pump without a backing plate. Florian G161 pump is the same as late Bellett with backing plate. Not familiar with the Luv pump, but will be next week.
Cheers, Matt.

Not Dumb at all, its thoroughly confusing!!
The Early Australian G161 Luv is the same as the later Bellett/Flo pump (pic of Luv Pump)
The Later Australian G161z Luv is the same as the Gemini.
The US delivered Luv came with a G180 OHC The later of which looked like the Gemini Engine
neither of which fits the Bellett/Flo engines.
You may find local parts suppliers may have the listing for the G161 Luv BUT BE CAREFULL
you will often get the Gemini Version!

Early Luv will fit either 3 bearing or 5 g150 and g161 the three bearing g150 remove the backing plate and feel free to loose it forever. 5 bearing will need the plate. I assume the g160 will be the same

any pumps for the 1800 SOHC then..... maybe Gemini fits ????

Me thinks the US Luv has the same one (would be worth having a look on the US Ebay site at a few
There appears to be 3 different types on US Ebay, but am guessing the 72-75 pump MAY be it!!??

The 1800 in the us is the same engine block as the twin cam or later gt engine like dave nq and the pr95 you will need early luv before the Gemini engine.

I do have a water pump for the SOHC off ebay but was wondering if there is something local to fit also. Guess not.

do you mean front quarter windows, Dave? Used to be able to buy the whole rubber (triangle shaped) Maybe even still available ex japan.
I am not aware there is a lower section of rubber only.

< don't lose any bags >

Davo the rubbers are available for the later gt's not early. Chev luv push rod engine will interchange with bellett g150 3 & 5 bearing and early g161 gt engines I would assume a g160 will be the same most likely without the backing plate.

I have these rubbers for my Sport to be fitted.... called "weather strip" on the bag. Now i seem to recall the earlier cars had a flat bottom "U " shaped rubber piece ? Unsure how that fits in with the rubber around the actual window though, Dave.

[Early GT]

Yeah Davo,
I have fitted a pair of these front quarter window rubbers to my PR90 last year. I had to modify them by cutting off the pointy front and shaping them into a smooth curve.. To fit them it is also best to completely remove the quarter window so the rubber can fit in one piece.
Did you receive my email? I will send it again through PM
