#1 Water pump pulley colour

Post by cactusman » Wed Feb 13, 2019 5:43 pm

While checking the water pump belt for wear....it was in need of replacement....I noticed my water pump pulley had a chunk missing....does not affect operation but must be unbalanced. I have sourced a perfect second hand one from ebay for £30. It is in bare metal so I was wondering what colour it should be painted....silver, satin black....if I leave it as it is it will corrode. Suggestions welcome....and would the dynamo pulley be the same.....mine is currently black but I may as well paint it at the same time.... :bigrin:
