[ihc] Re: Serpentine belts

To make a reverse rotation pump, you should have to do no more than have
a local pump rebuilder install an impeller with vanes that spiral in the
opposite direction.  Of course, figuring out the routing and the proper
pulleys will be a real trick.  I have been wanting to do this for a
while, but I have not figured out an easy way.  If you do this, please
share with the rest of us.        -Colin Rush

I still feel that V belts are better for redundancy purposes.  I *really*
like having dual belts for my water pump and alternator too...

Why does the water pump have to be reverse rotation?  Couldn't you just
change the routing of the belts to keep the standard rotation?
