MG MGA - Replacement Water Pumps

I have just replaced the water pump on my Mk2 1622 and I was surprised that the replacemebt I purchased from the MG Owners Club here in the UK was cast iron and not the alluminium type as mentioned and critisised in the Archive.The cost was around £25
The old one I took off the car was alluminium or alloy.

I thought it may be of interest !

PD,
I purchased a new water pump last summer from a small vendor at the Namgar get-to-together at Whistler, BC. It also is a cast iron version. The name "County" is stamped on the long arm that supports the generator.
(The name sounds familar. Isn't that the supplier for pistons that MOSS was/is selling.)
It is not installed on the engine yet. Should be on it by this weekend.
I did noticed the distance between the impeller and the body of the pump was quite close. Not like others I have seen over the years where the gap is in the range of 3/16 of an inch.

As I recall, County is a supplier of rebuilt parts. I need a new water pump. A re-built with a cast body would be great. Sign me up....where do I go to buy it?
Thanks,
