bottom pulley rattling

[Chrisgsi]

Are you sure its the pulley???

[Chrisgsi]

yeah im positive

I'm guessing it's had the rubber mount pulley cut (p/s edge cut off) for the nova conversion. If you've cut all the way through the rubber it weakens them significantly. This will be your problem.

As John said

[Chrisgsi]

[John]

You'll need a new bottom pulley, get it cut properly this time!

Get it machined on a lathe, mine cost £20 at a local engineering place to have done.
