I'm thrilled because I just replaced a sweaky/leaky original GM water pump with a $35 O'Riley"s number.

Didn't paint it because I wasn't sure it would work, and may have had to return it.

It looks like a short casting, but that spacer (the only thing I painted orange so far) allows it to work with my long type alternator bracket.

Pretty dang clever IMO!

Was crying to the UPS guy because it's starting to rust and I'm not going to remove it again just to paint it.

He suggested I just paint it with a brush.

...oh yea.

Or remove the bracket, put newspaper everywhere and spray paint it.

Aluminum foil is your friend here
