weirdly there are two sizes (and part numbers) for these - early and late.  One is considerably bigger than the other.

Anyone know why? and which is best to use?

I do remeber something about this, in wich case a matching pair of cranshaft and altenator would be ideal realy I did have a set but i have lost the crankshaft pulley !!

hayesey

hmm wasnt aware of any difference, I suppose you should get a matching pair (bottom pulley and alternator pulley) from the same car to ensure you don't over-drive the alternator or drive it too slow to generate enough power.

I presume this is when going turbo was guna ask a few questions myself about wether you have to change the bottom pulley but i guess that you do!

I've got one of each sat on my desk here. The smaller is ~100mm diameter inside the V where the belt sits and the larger ~115mm.

I'll send you a PM
