Told you that you'd end up paying more for the pump AND pulley, than the proper pump in the first place. All for the sake of "saving" a few quid. Amazing.
Jason originally took the pattern from Rich J's, which in turn came from Darryl Tinnestet many moons ago. Toby still does them. Jason's pattern does not include the 4 holes which need to be drilled very accurately.

I have a brand new press-fit pump in my loft which -I- purchased from ebay about 6 months ago. You can have it for what I paid for it which was £45

hello.
I hunted around for about 3 weeks trying to find a local place that did a bolt on pulley. Couldn't find one.
ended up going to delorean-parts.com
nice piece of kit.
watch out for import duty
(about 11 quid). :lol:
Dave. :wink:

I dont remember you telling me that martin,and its not for saving money i have spent in excess of 5k restoring my car so its not the money.The pump i got was £35 and the pulley is £5 so cheaper than yours and i dont need to run about finding a press to get off the pully so dont make me out to be a tight arse and no PM im not interested Tony

Its not that hard, they come with the central hole that locates the pulley. I just put the pulley on backwards, marked the holes from the pump side and then drilled them...worked a treat :lol: Some nice stainless allen head bolts and Roberts your fathers brother
And all less that £50

The pulleys Jay made all tha time ago, which included Spratty's, were made from a pattern taken from Rich J's pulley and made from a lump of billet that Rich "liberated" from his machine shop at work, and really quite valuable. Dave and I got several pulleys for putting the little "deal" together. Jay may well still have the pattern but I think he'd still want some billet to make them from. At that time we were interested in the bolt-ons because a source of press-fit pumps wasn't known. Dave and I finally traced them with Renault but they've now run out, so the late 70's Volvo one does the job (the one with the longer shaft). You can get the old pulley off with an M10 bolt and a big hammer, and you can press them on using a bolt and a socket. You don't need a press.
