Gilmer - I just bought a great set-up from Jones Racing.
I actually used a radius tooth belt, which is lower friction than the square
tooth Gilmer. They had a great little expandable collet adaptor that fit
over the water pump shaft to accept the pulley. On the crank, I have a
aftermarket vibration damper which the pulley bolted to, so you will have to
find a different solution in their bag of tricks. They are very helpful and
willing to work with you, but not cheap. You could easily end up spending
$15-$200 for this. 610.847.2028 and www.jonesracingproducts.com
Two port adapter - get a Pegasus Racing catalog- they have a bunch of
alternatives and they are a great resource for a bunch of stuff.
www.pegasusautoracing.com or 800-688-6946. I constantly order stuff from
these guys. It's like a hardware store for race cars.
