How to mount a TRW PS Pump to a late model 318 Aluminum Water Pump?

[sixtiesmuscle]

Gentlemen,
I have seen Brackets for Saginaws, Federals, etc to mount these pumps to the later model aluminum water pumps without the cast Iron style ears. But I cant find anything to mount a TRW ?? I'm putting in a later model (75) LA motor which has the Aluminum Water pump with outlet on Passenger side, to match my aluminum radiator. MY TRW PS pump on my 65 Belvedere 2 (factory 273) car works flawlessly..... I don't really want to change it.
Any suggestions..... I cant find brackets by Hoffmans winners circle, unless I just don't see them..... any leads would be appreciated. Thanks

Use the cast iron water pump with the oposite outlet and remark the balancer for TDC.

They don't make it because the factory never did it.

Swap water pump is best, it's all just bolts.

I thought of that as well, but while sourcing parts already for this conversion to the later engine, I already bought an aluminum radiator with the outlet matching the later model pump....

I'm considering that, just seeing if there were any already being made....

well, "They" do make aftermarket brackets for the Federal pump and the early Saginaw for use with the later water pump with no ears.....The factory didn't make those..... I just don't know why they don't for the TRW, unless its just not compatible with a rear style bracket....the difference is the later model water pumps that exit on Passenger side, dont have ears for the Power steering pump. The main bolt goes through that ear that the pump pivots on.... with the factory bracket... Bolts to the side of the pump......
