MASERATI 3500GT external scavaging oil pump- NOS

Description

This listing is for an external oil pump used on Maserati 3500GT's and early Sebrings. This is a scavaging pump used to pump oil to the oil cooling radiator mounted on the side of the engine coolant radiator.
The main housing is NOS(new old stock) as is the cover plate. The cover plate has a new oil seal. Also included is a used shaft and the nuts, washers and gasket. Not included is the internal rotor and the external pulley.
These oil pumps often times are damaged because they hang low on the engine and hit obstacles like concrete parking stops because many 3500's do not have protective skid plates. Also, since the shaft does not ride in a bearing, the shaft causes wear in the aluminum housing which ultimately causes the seal to leak.
This is a very rare part.
