The drill bit wasn't used for this job, it was there from something I did previously, it was the tool I was reffering to That one has a triangular tip which isn't so good for parting off. I changed to a parting off tool after this photo.

Maybe you should bring me up to speed on the basics one day.

Nice write up Pete. I have the same setup in the Caddy and your accurate belt measuring could have saved me 3 trips to Bursons!

Exactly why I'd thought I'd addit to the group wisdom. Is your belt the same part number?

Nice work Pete! Great to see some mods like this so well documented. I to have done the conversion but took the easy way and bought a set of three alloy pulleys off ebay motors USA for $65 plus shipping. You need a carbide inserted face grooving tool for sure!

I see what you mean, a quick search came up with these couple of items.

There's a range of underdrive pulleys too, but I'd only run those in constant high RPM applications like a dedicated race car. Would need to put some thought into water pump rpm and cavitation issues.

Thats the pulleys Pete! Great buy dont you think, they are very nicely machined and a perfect fit.

Could you not go with the MK3 alternator setup? I'm about to do this on my MK2 1.8 gti but need a crank pulley (and Ideally a ramp!). The aleternator sits on a bracket that comes off the waterpump bracket. There's a link on Ed 38

I just scrounged this off a mk3 Vento and will be replacing the pump as mine's leaking a header tank a day from it! Not good when the weather's bad.

Umm didn't I do that on page 1 of this thread?
