Today I replaced the original sink water pump on my 1988 Vanagon GL Westy (Canadian model). I was reluctant to spend more than $50 CDN on getting a new pump, so I ordered one off Amazon for 1/10th that price... a small hack using some pieces of copper tubing to "downsize" the water hose to the new pump's smaller inlet/outlet size, and "Bob's your uncle!" The bonus: while delivering the same volume of water, this pump is almost silent (!)... compared to the banshee whine & groan of the original. (-:

Invest in a kit from the same manufacturer that includes all the parts you want for simple replacement and smooth performance. We at GMB provide timing belt sets with water pumps that are of OE grade. Every one of our parts is constructed using superior OE-grade components and put through arduous quality control testing. Our timing belt sets with water pumps include all of the gaskets and seals you may possibly need.
