I saw a MP#-400 for sale that said it had an aluminum water pump cover. Where do you get such an item?

Piaggio has replaced the plastic cover with an aluminum one. It also requires a new gasket...

That should be the replacement for the old plastic cover anyway. My plastic cover developed a small crack and was seeping a small amount of coolant out and the dealer said the aluminum was the new part for it. Some dealers may be using up the last of their stock for the plastic covers, but with the aluminum, no more problems.

Anybody have a P/N for this cover and gasket? Maksor has a good price on them, but shipping to the USA costs twice as much as the parts My nearest dealer (if you can call him that) can't find a P/N for the new aluminum cover. I called AF1Racing and they could not find it either. It may be a Euro only part.

Thanks Doug! Strange that they couldn't find the P/N when I called them. There isn't a picture and it is not in the description but I'll take your word that it is the new aluminum cover. It does show the new flat gasket as a needed part. I'll call them on Monday to get one ordered up. Thanks again!
