Any chance Matt that you can send me your updated drawings so i can pass them to my cnc dude?
Im just keen on the cutout for the water

D.
When looking at the front , dizzy to the left.
The squarish stepped down area in the top left is to allow the idler here to sit in the right position.

The circular cutout at the bottom right is to allow the idler to have clearance.

When I mocked up everything it all lines up as intended so i left well alone.
You could possibly remove that dropdown section and the belt would still line up but it all works.

I would take a photo with it mocked up but im getting copies made now so the cnc dude has it.

Looks great

Reubs why is there a stepped section on the top left provision area for the idler?

Matt achy chance if I send you this pump you can try it on to see for size to
replace the right side idler?

Ive been re thinking of using a different pump instead of electric
external one would be great if you can solve it but Im still scratching
in my head the chance of using another pump instead of the A series
but in the same position. Just need to know the width of the belt for
the chrysler engine it belongs to and also what width belt Rob used.
Oh crap it might spin the wrong way!!!??? or draw water from a reverse
location from that block?!!







edit* seems the Toyota Y series waterpump spins the right way

I’ll pop a pic when I get home

hell yeah! looks great
any chance of a pic of the back? - spose its a bit hard to see how it lines up with the water pump hole with it bolted on...

likely just fine for the bottom lip as well
for permatex range I found the copper is the best
one for all uses and same online price as the rest.
Higher temp helps good for mufflers, ex. manis etc.

this is ultra black - its a permatex branded product, but any oil resistant silicone is fine
