dr_mat 0 Posted April 15, 2004 I thought some kind soul had shipped their old pulleys over to you PhatVR6? Or did I imagine that? ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted April 16, 2004 Oh, and what's the difference between an "8mm" and an "M8" bolt, apart from the 8mm one being too large diameter... :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted April 18, 2004 It's M8 yes, Lee sent me 2 pulleys. but one's for his car, and the other is for mine. If you can send me a pulley I'll sfit a new bearing in it for you. I just thought it'd be handy to have one to use as an exchange item. Pics comin up soon as part of this how 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted July 27, 2004 hmmmm. just phoned BSL and they have them at £4.68...... but they said they have a minimum order of £20????? anyone know somewhere more helpfull?? thanks Yeah I called the Cambridge lot to ask if they could post a bearing to me. They said sure, but it would be £20 postage. I'd be inclined to walk in there with a fiver and slap it down and say take it or leave it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
