The water pump bolts might be 3/8". Do you mean the pulley on the alternator because they can be a b@%$£r to shift.

Alternator pulley is usually a windy gun affair , water pump pulley bolts are 10 mm but you need a good quality 6pt socket/spanner or you'll round em off

now I have found the P gasket, if original is fine, should I just leave it alone or replace it whilst water pump etc is off?

Ok but if I have to marshal my first event this year I'm blaming you. (Going piglet btw, will tell you why sometime)
