Hank and Michael,
Thanks for your replies.
Now I am curious. I am 99.9% sure my generator pulley is original. The =
car was sold new in Guernsey in the Channel Islands. =20
It is BN2 232844 11 June 1956 and the engine has never been out of =
the car, though I gave the generator a tidy-up 10 years ago.
As Hank points out, it is possible that various diameters may have been =
interchanged with other models during 100 production.
=20
So our local Auckland member with a 3=E2=80=9D OD pulley may well have =
the right one for his 1955 BN1
Michael, I=E2=80=99ll have him measure it again to see if in fact it is =
a 3.2=E2=80=9D pulley . . . and not 3=E2=80=9D
=20
Question: Might my 3=C2=BD=E2=80=9D OD pulley be correct for a late =
production BN2?

Hi Mark-had a similar problem with my early 100. The pulley mounted to =
the generator turned out to be the wrong one and the belt lineup was =
askew. The correct one shown is I believe about 3.25" and runs true. =
Since there were so many of these blocks used on A70, A90 and other =
saloons of the period, I could see how they got mixed up. Regards, Hank

Learned gentlemen,
The pulley on my 1956 BN2 is 3=C2=BD=E2=80=9D diameter. I believe it to =
be original. I=E2=80=99ve owned the car for 45 years.
A friend has a BN1 with a pulley diameter of just 3=E2=80=9D. He thinks =
it is original. I don=E2=80=99t. It got me thinking.
I believe his is incorrect as it was converted here in NZ from a LHD =
import some 30 years ago. BN1L 226180
The car has some clumsy conversions made to change it to RHD, so I =
don=E2=80=99t know what else might have been =E2=80=98cobbled =
up=E2=80=99 to get the car on the road.
Can somebody of you please confirm that 3=C2=BD=E2=80=9D is correct.
That said, I need another for a second 100 engine I am building as a =
spare.
They seem to be scarce down here in NZ, and repros seem to be rather =
expensive.
Fingers crossed.
