Pulley Fabricators(now with pic)

[mullett]

At $150 for the chev kit with belt im quite happy to direct my efforts towards finding the cheapest way to have them modified...surely having the bores either made bigger or sleeves made up cant be that expensive and as for the water pump bolt holes not lining up thats a piece of piss...maybe you can give us an idea mullet..? Ill obviously provide you with more info as I get it on what has to be done..

Any of that can be done easy as, and the best bit is it can be done on a hand lathe, so it's cheap to do one or 2 sets. With the waterpump holes, how much extra meat do you have to drill new holes? Alternativly, if it needs to be spaced out, you can bolt the new pulley to the spacer, and the spacer to the waterpump...That sounds far and away the best option...

Ok the guy doesnt seem to understand the concept of group buys,or how to return a descriptive email,so I dont think ill be able to get us discounts...anyways have now bidded on the small block chev kit and will let you all know when it arrives..

[takai]

Ok, awesome. Ill be chatting with my machinist on Thursday and also going to the local speed shop then too. Those guys are hugely helpful.

FYI, Ross Harmonic Balances (just off Sunnyholt Rd in Blacktown) rerubbers, manufacturers and repairs balances. Had one off a 5MGE re done and was <$100- for rerubbering and modding the pulley.

If anyone had off the shelf glimmer (fuck I hate that word) pulleys or would could adapt them he can. Been in the game for years and speak the right language.

Also does custom flywheels.

Ps clubagreenie: its gilmer

THanks for the info though.

[The Witzl]

I rekon clubbie LOOOVES teh glimmer!

[clubagreenie]

I love watching it work it's way in and out of ...

Wait a minute now I am getting excited

As for glimmer vs gilmer either way it's still fucked and I'm potentially dilecsix

[RiceburnaGTV]

Cant find the number through sensis,fuck i love it when they connect you through to a number which is disconnected,wheres my gun Are you sure theyre still in business?

[LeeRoy]

Wow, this is getting huge hits now. As i said earlier getting those alternator and water pump pulleys modded is like $20ea so thats of very little concern. My main concern is getting the harmonic balancer sorted.

Clubagreenie. When you say you got a 5m pulley modified what did they do to it? If we could get 3t modified in a desired way for <100 as you mentioned that would be awesome. Please clarify on what got done specifically

[edit] also found this:
An interesting point in regards to "Gilmer Drives" (but not limited to) from the EPA:

Noise from gear drives and belts
Care should be taken when fitting engine gear drives or non-standard engine and auxiliary belt drives such as alternator belts. Non-standard gears and belts can emit an annoying high-pitched whine. It is an offence under clause 20 for any gear or belt modification to increase the noise level of the engine so it exceeds the noise level prescribed in the Regulation.

Thanks for the help everyone.

10chars of

The Goodyear Eagle PD Timing belt system is mainly an industrial drive system.
Thery are not guaranteed when used in automotive drives.
These aren't stocked in Australia and we have to import them from the USA.
I have to get an official quote from Goodyear USA. But in the past the pulleys can range from $250.00 - $600.00 each
and the belts can range from $300.00 +.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hey oldcorollas +rep for you, i was sorta wondering about whether or not those belts would ne ok cause theyre designed for low rpm conveyor belts and stuff like that, but on the otherhand im sure a belt as mentioned in an industrial application would endure more strain than one in an automotive application cause water pumps and alternators are fairly free to move so to speak in comparison to a conveyor belt moving i dunno nutella or beer. The resistance on something like that imo would be alot greater than on a car. What do you think

I think this is the guy that made the balancer for my mate - Btw his one cost him >$500 but it was made from scratch.

Yeah Mr Maybury really isnt interested im afraid cause those quotes are spaz..$300US for a Belt maybe if is for a 300m conveyor...the guys at the rod shop pointed to the guys next door to them for belts and said somthing along the lines of 50 bucks...yipee Im heading off the rare spares now to check the differences between the long water pump version of the kits..
