TR3b water pulley
Dear Listers,
1962 TR3b water pump gasket and pump attached, woodruff key inserted.
Now time to attach the pulley.
The pulley purchased from TRF came with a spacer washer and a copper washer.
The height of the old pulley seems a bit higher than the replacement, so planning to use the spacer washer.
My question relates to the copper washer. What do I use this washer for? The pump came with the larger washer and lock nut for the pump shaft over the pulley. I did not see a washer come off the old pulley.
Any insights/suggestions??
Thanks
Erkan
