That's exactly what I did with my new MB pump. Sat on my front steps outside add little oil & slowly walk them into those unthreaded mounting holes with a ratchet a little bit, back out, add oil again, and go in a little more. Repeat.

I will never throw away nor return my old core, ( Merc would give me 55$ for the core ) they are too hard to find. I have a gmp pump and my old core in spare now.

So you can buy any of the cheap pumps and self-tap a thread in there for the pulleys?
Did i understood it right.
Anyway there is ONE replacement Part available that IS fitting ONLY for the 55 Kompressor engines.
Its "Febi Bilstein 36786 Wasserpumpe"

looks like you have room to weld a nut to the stub,, the heat generated will help loosen it then just place a socket on new nut and unscrew....

I thought that odd too. Our price is HIGHER than the list price? WTH.. I sent them an email asking to explain.

I'm completely building my engine from the ground up. I will be needing this shortly and am glad you guys have posted this. I guess It's just clear that we have to tap the holes. No big deal.
