Default Anodized Pulleys?

Has anyone used or heard of hard anodized pulleys before? I was told this pulley and part number is a Mr. Gasket part number, but I can't find the part on their website, just a note about it in a tech article. Hard anodized is suppose to be very strong and durable, plus I like the look. Something different the ususal polished look. If any one has any information on this I would really appreciate it!!!!

Hmm... I thought "Anodized" is just a type of an oxide coating.

We use hard annodizing on Motorcycle fork sliders all the time. Looks cool and really tough as in abrasion resitant. Can be Glossy or Flat...

Definitely not my choice for pulleys, their parts are usually not the best grade. I beleive Moroso and/or Canton carry the hard anodized pulleys.

If you get the Mr. Gasket buy it from Summit or Jeg's, they have a fairly liberal return policy during the first year.

That looks like a universal fit, not sure it will work on a Corvette water pump, amy not line up with the other pulleys (alt or p/s if you have that)

Hard anodizing gives you the corrosion protection plus a hard surface for wear resistance, it does not make the part any stronger.

Looks like a casting, better off with a machined (billet) part.
