Repairing a cast belt pulley for looks.

Posted by mkirsch on December 12, 2008 at 05:56:40 from (64.80.108.56):

I bought a cast iron belt pulley a couple of years ago intending it to be a birthday present for my dad to put on his Super H. %$#@ing seller threw it loose in a flimsy box, and of course it shows up chipped. When I tried to contact the seller, he never replied.

Luckily I found a paper pulley in time.

It's been sitting in the front closet in my house making me mad since then.

I've got the pieces. There's 3 triangle shaped bits that all fit back together pretty well.

I'd like to fix it for looks. Welding will cost more than I have in the pulley. I certainly don't want to try welding it myself; it'll shatter into a million pieces.

Any ideas for an epoxy or other adhesive to glue the pieces back in? Bondo and paint should cover up the sins. Maybe some fiberglass on the inside to hold things together just in case some dipstick actually puts the belt pulley drive in gear... At this point I just want it to look good for display purposes.
