<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One thing to watch for, though, the pulley needs to be a very snug fit on the shaft. If your old pulley will go on with just your fingers, you should either replace it, or you can try one of the Loctite “retaining compounds”.
I’ve had good luck with RC609, but they make one that Is thicker and fills larger spaces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">But the new pulley from TRF also fit as it should, no Loctite needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0">Currently doing a frame up on our early TR2, I decided to replace the water pump which although working and not leaking wasn’t as smooth turning as it should be. The original pump
(with grease fitting) had been replaced prior to my ownership with a Quinten-Hazel (QH) version which appears to be dated 1978. I believe the pulley present is original or at least original style.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0">My problem is the Lucas-boxed 4 vane pump I ordered as a replacement has sizing issues.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0">The mounting flange is 1/16” thicker than the QH pump. The consequence of this is the nuts do not tighten fully over the studs leaving I suspect about a 1/16” depression. The second
problem is with the nyloc nut that holds the pulley on. This nut is about twice the diameter of the originals and so thick it doesn’t come close to engaging the nyloc feature. The washer supplied is also very thick and replacement with a thinner version
might help but not enough.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0">Anyone else experienced this? Solutions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
