  ohhhhh that may be bad... see my suppliers tell me they no longer made cast ones years ago.. but few places could order/get them like 1 warehouse had.. rest had plastic.. we could not figureout why... i assumed old stock... maybe there is no more..

• Hmmm. The top meyle part number is good as I have one in my car. cast aluminum it looks like, but I didn't put a magnet on it.

• Lets see how long the meyle one lasts as their quality is poo. Maybe we should start looking into rebuilding the waterpumps ourselves.

• Cast or stamped impellers are best..
  
  plastic actually flows the best, but they dont last the best...
