[urq] After-run coolant pump?

I used to have the orignal MB set up in my MC-equipped UrQ. The rubber
hose between the thermo housing and the heater pipe on the WX/MC is
replaced by a t-piece and there is a bracket that bolts to the head
that the MC afterrun pump mounts to vertically. There is also a new
upper radiator hose that connects to the pump. I sold my entire set up
to Tony for his MC conversion. At the time I was having a cold running
problem and attributed it to that. It was 3 bad thermostats in a row,
in reality. These parts can be purchased from the UK for not that much
money and make a slick set up. The lower hydraulic hose (or was it the
upper) has to be relocated or shifted otherwise it puts pressure on
the afterrun pump housing.

P.S. I also had the MC set up for a while too, but the heater pipe is
all wrong for the UrQ and requires some goofy mods to the heater
control valve and associated hoses.
