yes, this is what it looks like I will have to do, seriously.

I've searched high and low for a bypass pulley for the ps pump, since its needed for the water pump to maintain. I'm not sure if i'd be able to take a similiar ps pump to fabrication shop and have them make something based on the 3 bolt pump design ( perhaps an aluminum something?) I can bolt to the bracket and spin a pulley on?

At any rate i'm out of luck, there has to be a way to get this done
