12a water pump pulley center hole
How big is it? Ordered a Gilmer drive kit and... don't ya know... the center hole isn't the right size on the water pump pulley.

I plan on reaming it out, looks like it's 17mm?

Take the old and new pulleys to a machine shop. They will measure the old one and use the right tools to make the hole bigger.

If you have access to a machine shop then you know how it do it the right way. When I read "ream it out" I pictured someone using a drill trying to make the hole bigger.
