Dual alt pulley?

[B.Martin]

Do you not need 2 pulleys for this or is it just the one? I only got one is that right or should I have 2?

[Grant Monkhouse]

Do you have 2 alternators? I always thought the dual
Pulley was off the eshaft?

i added a dual alt pulley when i got rid of my air pump...if you take off the air pump belt, then there is very little belt-to-pulley contact on the water pump pulley, so thats why i doubled up.  
 
so now i have 2 belts with little belt-to-pulley contact haha

Shouldn\'t you use an under drive kit then?

The issue is that the single belt will slip between the alt, water pump and main pulley if there is only 1 belt. I have fitted a dual alt pulley as my mechanical air pump has gone, gives more contact meaning that the water pump is correctly driven. You don\'t want to fit an underdrive kit as that would reduce the flow, they are ok if the car is for track only.

The other options are fitting an idler pulley or a shiny Gilmer kit

its just one block with 2 groves that fits a belt into each one.

Oh that\'s okay then, cheers Liam. Oh by the way I finally got the leads today, great stuff! Just need the air pump removal blanky things and the belts now and I can get that done, oh Liam... I need an induction kit :Giggle

Yep - the location of the water pump pulley means that with a single alternator belt, there is only a small contact area (about 2" of circumference on the water pulley, and at a slight angle).  Normally that pulley is also driven by another belt going around the air pump and has about another 3" of contact.

Oh well thats fine then, if anyone is kind enough to live near a halfords and fancy picking me the belts i need up and shipping them to me i\'d be more than happy to pay the costs plus and extra €10 in beer tokens for your trouble. As frankly Cyprus is a poor attempt of a country when i comes to car bits!

I heard this too, i\'m sure someone can clarify.

[L18M]

just use a normal fc alt belt.
i thought the mini belt was for the \'yoohoo\' belt?
im just using normal alt belt, so have 2 of them on the engine

[grinder]

cool

anyone got a halfrauds part number ?

[Prof]

Well the belts are AVX10 x 800La (Gates 6212MC) - so HB800a should be about right me thinks ?
