...a V groove tensioner or idler for the alternator belt?

All the tensioners I have seen use the flat side of the belt, I need a 5 groove tensioner or at very worst a grooved idler pulley.

Has anyone seen a car that uses something like this?

 

a single v or a multi rib belt mate?

 

if your thinking multi v then the galaxy diesel uses both sides of the belt as both sides are grooved

 

its a multi rib belt he is after well the pully he needs it to sit on the groved side of the belt not the flat side where the mostley sit

 

EXCELLENT! I did notice Galaxys and quite a few VW use a 5 groove belt, just hoped one of them has something I am after. Ill look into the Galaxy one tomorrow.

 

worst case , give chris florey on here - cdf racing a pm on here ,


im sure he could machine you any pulley you want ,

reasonable prices,

very helpful chap ,


check for him in the traders for sale section and drop him a pm ,


beef

 

as above then
1.9d galaxy
its volkswagen engine 1
a few of the vw's use that set up so i'd try looking in that direction mate

 

as said vw uses double sided belt

 

Bingo!
