<div>Hank et al,
<div> </div>
<div>I am not familiar with the pulleys on the BN1 and BN2 other than I=
have been told they are wider than both the 3/8" and 1/2" pulleys on the la=
ter Healeys. If someone out there has a pulley from a 100 and can measure th=
e Effective Groove Width (the width at the top of the pulley) and the groove=
angle (it should be close to 34 deg.) I can determine the right series of b=
elt. Length is more difficult.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will use my 45 year old SAE manuals as opposed to AI.</div>

<div>Harold-thank you! great article and completely understandable and usefu=

<div>Michael, as I recall you are running an alternator on your 100. H=
