[DMCForum] Re: Stock Volvo Water Pump Pulley Mount

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually now that I remember, my spare engine didn't have a clutch --
rather cheap plastic fan bolts directly to flange pressed onto pump
shaft. Pulley is sandwiched between them. I suppose you could use a
pulley from junkyard engine *IF* you can find one (have only seen one
PRV. 99% of junkyard Volvo's have the inline 4). Would look slightly
unfinished with extra unused belt groove. Plus one on my spare engine
has rusted badly. If I can afford a DeLorean, I can afford a new
aluminum pulley...
