Default Re: Which brands of water pump have all holes threaded?

Does anyone know if any of these options are a surefire replacement or should be avoided?

Many thanks,

Nobody knows who made the genuine Mercedes one but even if you get a genuine one you have to tap a few holes at the top. I think Gates or SKF would be ok.
