Joff's Nova Turbo Project

HI,

The pulleys are new from SBD :-

They run a BMW sized belt and the bottom pulley no longer has a rubber insert.

Original pics are on page 2 of this thread :-

How come you have gone for those pulley's? They are only used on high reving XE motors to stop the alternator overcharging the battery. To my mind you would have been better getting a courtenay bottom pulley and running a single v belt.

it would be nice to get it ready for April 2005, but I think this will be a bit unrealistic!

Rick,

I'm using the multi-v belt primarily due to past problems with the normal single v belt coming off the pulleys
when either doing quick starts from the lights or going up the drag strip, which was a bit annoying!! Don't know
exactly why it happens as I run the TAS solid mounts.

Its going to be fun finding belt - all I know that a BMW one will fit - which one - who knows!! I'm going to measure
the length of the belt required with a bit of wire and then nip into Halfords and have a measure. Multi-v belts handly
have the length stamped on them!!

On the build timescales I try not to rush things - they get done when they get done!!! At least I don't stress
out about missing deadlines!!!

Progress on work - whilst the shell is out of the garage I've got the carpets out for a clean - they have come
up fine with a vax but one big problem - the car they came out of had a dog with white hair - how do you get
animal hairs out of the carpet fibres??? It won't hoover out, or vax out and my clothes brush ain't much cop either??

Any tips or ideas would be appreciated!!!

Joff

you can get dog hair removers - theyre like a roll of sellotape with a very sticky backing - try that.

masking tape is also pretty good...
