I have good used ones and I can sell you just the front half if that is all you want. > Any advice about alternator pulleys in general would be greatly appreciated. The only time I've ever seen a broken pulley is when the voltage regulator is failing and it exerts staccato on and off loads on the generator and belt. You may notice this as a rather heavy clicking coming from under the back seat while you're driving. If you've been hearing this, you should replace the VR at the same time. Of course if the pulley broke because of some mechanical abuse, that is completely different. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
