You want a type 3 pulley. The best place to get one is off a type 3. I have several good used ones here. > I'm wondering if the non-t3 one could be made to work... No, don't even try. Besides the quality of the ones sold today is inferior. BTW, if yours cracked in use, it is likely that your voltage regulator is failing. Replace it, or you'll be needing another pulley soon. (One of the failure modes of the VRs is that they stick, and click, rather than buzzing back and forth between states. When they stick they tend to jerk the belt, which wedges it down in the pulley, spreading the pulley halves. After awhile, the pulley halves fatigue fail from this abuse.) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
