Dodgey Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I've a thread in the tech section where I'm pondering on a solution to my racing pulleys on my V8 and price allowing, have concluded that having a simple alloy pulley turned on a lathe would be the easiest solution. I want to take a 108mm pulley and have a copy made, only 150mm diameter instead (or there abouts). Can anyone recommend a company to use? and any idea how much? It's the bottom pulley in the pic. Just needs to be made bigger! (it's a 6vee pulley with three mounting holes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TableLeg Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Dodgey, That is circa Supercharger sized so perhaps you may be able to find one blank with no holes of the right size to start with. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TableLeg Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Maybe something like this post #696? http://www.106rallyeforum.com/forum2008/showthread.php?t=49225&page=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I've had quite a resonable quote from Brise in the past for making a custom sized pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TableLeg Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't know anything about this company other than to say they specialise in custom pullies. Might be worth speaking to them. http://www.timingbeltpulleys.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks. Will look at all the links. I emailed Brise last night. Also got someone on the V8forum quoting for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Mmmm shiny, I like shiny things Just one thing you said 3 holes and your new one has 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 :-) crank damper has 6 holes so I though I'd have them all put on the new piece - why not! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 That was quick, off the shelf or made for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Made for me by a machinist I found (well, he found me after a post on the V8Forums) as a one off. It doesn't exist off the shelf. It's part of a 3 pulley performance set (under driven water pump and alternator) - which is no good for a car used in traffic! My original is 108mm dia, this is 150mm dia . He didn't even need the originals as he knows the PCd and hub size for the Rover SD1 crank pulley, and has all the details for 6-poly vee. Clearly knows his stuff. On the V8forums there are pictures of entire lifter sets he machined. His details are: Ged’s Shed NW T:01745 561327 M: 07827 371099 E:ged@terrysant.plus.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I was going to suggest a local turner but as your already sorted, that's great. I've been round my local industrial estate, amazing the number of experts in all fields you can find to make all manner of things, used a couple of them so far.
