James,
My pulley came with engine (from RPi in the UK). The water pump
made for me is 3" back to front as against the 4" one I had on the
engine. I believe it was made from a Buick water pump and I sent
neither my own pump or the bolt pattern - they just made it!!!!. My
engine chap told me that other pulleys have same bolt holes and I
seem to remember he mentioned Volvo (???)
