Yuck on the polished idea
Most of the later model long nose ones have a cast impeller, just use the later style pulley with it
yuk on polished? bit of bling is always good lol, was only looking at polished as all other alloy in my engine bay is polished etc,
might have to agree though on the later model pump and different pulleys.
as i have killed this pump in only 400KM use. is leaking out the small hole as they do when the seals are shot.
stinking gilmer belt set up and the tension i had on it i would blame for the killing of the pump.
i am buying new v belt pulleys and water pump so i might just get the long nose pump and pulley as i think they are a bit stronger with the twin bearing arrangement?
