I was trying to get the dimensions of the "short pumps" but getting details like that is like pulling hens teeth. Virtually impossible.
I suspect that it could still be too tall but I'm not in the mood to go buying all this stuff when I am still trying to clean out unused and never will be used stuff.
Do you have a link to that water pump site? I do not find it in a search.
I am not clear on the assembly/disassembly sequence and if the assembly goes in/out of the housing from the front or the back?
