Beta Top Water Rail - what specification for remanufacture?

Hi Alan

I seem to remember somewhere there was some talk about different water pumps or something causing the problem with fitting of the lower water rail?

I have a suspicion (which I cannot prove) that the problems I had getting the lower water rail to line up stemmed from my use of an uprated VX/Monte water pump. Like I said, I can't prove this but the water pump was the only part of the equation that changed.

It's possible that VX pumps are a bit deeper in the body, needs checking out really.

I am guessing there is still no new option for this rail?

Hi Mark,
There's a chap called Thomas something who advertised stainless rails on FB, both top and bottom,
a while back but I haven't seen his posts for a while. He was also making fibreglass
seat backs and boot spoilers (similar style to yours).
Try searching on the Italian-based FB sites.

These rails are of critical dimension to fit well. I had my top rail repaired by a mate at work, but
he's no longer got the equipment to do it. A repair is often the better solution as it's more likely
to keep it's dimensions.
