Bought this GMB 140-1320 water pump on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/122012388871?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT It's for an Isuzu Impulse engine used in a Lotus. What I got was this:
If you look at the last picture in the Ebay listing you see "GMB" in the casting as well as some production numbers. This pump just has "JAPAN" on it. Also, in the listing "GMB" is stamped in the center shaft which this one doesn't have. This one wasn't in a plastic bag, and the box was folded and beat up and not made for this pump. I sent a message to GMB about it, but does this look like a fake?
