Anyone have a spare water pump pulley for an M50?

My buddy has a '97 328i that was having some weird heating problems. I helped him today change the thermostat and water pump, and in so doing, found that the water pump pulley had a nice chunk missing from it (courtesy of previous shop work, no doubt). Would like to find a nice used one rather than shell out the bucks for a new one on a car he's not planning to keep too much longer.

Would appreciate any and all donations :)

Seems to be healed (I hope). I told him DO NOT IGNORE THE LOW COOLANT MESSAGE!!!

I'm looking for lowest-cost opportunities. He doesn't really want to replace it, but I reminded him that if it broke completely, he'd lose the belt and be stranded. Looking for lowest cost options first.

The pump in the car was over 9 years old, car has 120k on it. Wow. It was a metal-impeller pump, but the seals were gone. And of course, it has green coolant in it (I couldn't persuade him to put the blue stuff in).

couldn't persuade me to use blue either, if green and blue were side by side free id grab the green
