Guys,

I'm introducing little mods to my Fury V8 to improve cooling as it currently heats up a bit too much.

One of the little things we are considering is changing the water pump pulley to one a little smaller in diameter (so that the pump will turn slightly faster).

The guy who is working on the car has good Rover V8 experience with Land Rovers but no kit car experience (we don't have kit cars in Spain) and so we don't know what the pulley currently fitted is or how to find a suitable (smaller) replacement.

He has sent me a couple of pictures of the pulley and says it has two bits, an aluminium inner one plus a steel outer one. He says we would like one of about 14 cm diameter. If I recall correctly, I think he said the belt looks standard 12mm.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

I think its the type fitte to the Rover P5, P6 & original MGB V8s and used in a lot of kit cars to save space up front. Im no expert on this so hopefully some one else will confirm this

Looks like a prehistoric p6 to me also.

Its not Range rover or SD1

Great, guys, thanks a lot. I'll search Ebay for a smaller diameter one and we'll see.
