Have been trying to find an auxillary drive belt pulley for two weeks now :mad:

Seems like the stuff for my engine has disappeared into the sands of time... And I have been losing money left right and centre as I use it for work as it is the only car I drive

take the old belt for length and just ask if you can have a look through there belts

dave did that earlier for his td and has some sort of toyota belt works fine

It's not the belt I need but the actual pulley itself, sits on the crankshaft sprocket to drive my alternator...

No, alternator pulley, see my other post above?

TeddyThom

No Kev I just want the one that sits on the crankshaft sprocket and drives my alternator, has a keyway on it (little notch on the inside of the centre hole) and also has the timing mark etc on it

I'll post a picture so everyone is clear as to what I am on about...

LOL @ this thread.

Things aren't that hard to find when you search the correct name. lol

Also if you think finding bits for a Nova is hard, you're in for a shock if you ever buy something else. lol

Was going to say, 1.2 parts are easy to get hold of, im mean i must of scraped about 4 1.2 carbed engines in bits lol

TeddyThom
12-04-11, 11:50 PM
Connnor, where I am parts are a little hard to find, I've tried ebay, here, migweb, vauxhall sport forums, nothing. Have had people say they have got what I want, go to check and have nothing. To say I'm starting to get ready to break it or set it alight is an understatement. If you have one please let me know :thumb:

i still dont get what your after

you have crank pulley, cam pulley, and water pump on the main side
then a drive pulley and alt pulley on the other

which one you after lol


i think your after the pulley which bolts onto the crank pulley yes?

if it is that one any nova ohc pulley will work, and any none PAS 8v corsa aswell

Steve
13-04-11, 02:19 AM
Baxter may be right about corsa ones, early ones were carb engines so SHOULD be the same.

Good luck mate, there was a time when 1200s were everywhere, when we fitted my 2.0 8v the old 1200 got scrapped even though it was mint with 33k on it no one wanted it lol lol

I have a Crank Pulley sitting in my garden along with a 1.2 engine if you want it?

General Baxter
13-04-11, 11:06 AM
i dont think hes after the crank pulley, i think hes after the drive pulley which bolts to the crank pulley lol

TeddyThom
13-04-11, 11:39 AM
Baxter (and anyone else that is paying attention), I clearly stated what I wanted earlier in the thread lol

Even got a huge picture up.

I want the bottom pulley that sits on the crankshaft sprocket that drives the alternator. Would you like me to put the picture up again??

And no the early corsa ones don't fit, I've already tried that.....
