Subject: UK listers : HELP! (alternator pulley)
Hi, Brad.
When I changed the alternator on my Scimitar, I was able to buy a new pulley
directly from my local Lucas Agent.
As far as I can remember, the dimensions were as per your needs. There was
only the pulley, in satin black powder coat, the nut, spring washer, spacer
and Woodruff key had to bought separately.
I expect you could order one from Lucas but can only give you the local
dealer's number which is (UK Code, plus) 01904 654513.
They are called York Autoelectrics.
Good Luck,
David Hill
