Anyone ordered a Machined Pulley & Sensor Bracket from Tom Fenton?
Turbo Mini Forums

Does anyone here who ordered a machined pulley and/or bracket have one yet? Will you be using it in the next 3 weeks?

If your not using it in the next three weeks can i have yours?

I have 3 weeks to finish my car, but my bracket from tom will be another 3 weeks because the cheque didnt turn up and the first pulley i sent had some chips in it he said i was wondering if you could send me yours, and in 3 weeks tom will send you mine to replace it (I will pay you/help out in any way) Tomorow I am going to send tom a new pulley to machine.

I cant put my engine in until have the pulley on because cant get the bottom radiator bracket on, and i have to be out of my garage in 3 weeks time (parents sold house)

I have taken the next 3 weeks off work to finish it off too, interiors finished now, brakes are finished, and all suspension and wiring, only thing left is to drop in the engine and sort out the intercooler install and set it all up for MOT.

If you will let me have your bracket and pulley and can wait 3 weeks for yours, and please please pm me if nothing turns up im really stuck :(

if you cant get one why dont you just stick a normal pulley on and a dizzy and get it up and runneng oon that thenwhen you get your spannerbitch parts fit them its not a big job

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

its easy enough to take the rad bracket off to fit the pulley at a later date like carl said.

wont it mean taking out the engine again though?

Im not going to have the garage to work in and i dont want to drive it unless its running right or tuned up ive put loads of money and time into making the engine right i want it to be right first time. Also its going to have to be MOT'd and taxed for the as its going to have to be parked on a road for a while in 3 weeks.

The news has come all of a sudden, i was meant to have a few more months to finish it.

To be honest id rather try my best and try get one and get it running right the first time on megajolt.

I have sent you a PM.

As others say, it is more than viable to swap the pulleys over with the engine in the car, you need to remove the radiator, and remove the engine mount bracket, and off it will come once you have undone the bolt.

The pulley you sent has half the rubber missing, and also the face the fan belt runs on has a couple of decent dents in it! It would work, but seems a waste of your money to invest £35 into machining a poor pulley to begin with.

However, if you have real time pressures I personally would get it running on a welded distributor just for now.

i've swapped my pulley over to a machined one tonight, took about half an hour....but i dont have a side rad which made life easier.

Feebs - I'm glad you're being open and admitting that the delay was down to Tom not recieving a suitable pulley, and a missing cheque - rather than suggesting that it's Tom's Fault for the delay...

Good on you.
