[Healeys] 100 generator pulley diameter

[Hank Leach]

Hi Mark-had a similar problem with my early 100. The pulley mounted to
the generator turned out to be the wrong one and the belt lineup was
askew. The correct one shown is I believe about 3.25" and runs true.
Since there were so many of these blocks used on A70, A90 and other
saloons of the period, I could see how they got mixed up. Regards,
Hank

	Learned gentlemen, 

	The pulley on my 1956 BN2 is 3½” diameter. I believe it to be
original. I’ve owned the car for 45 years. 

	A friend has a BN1 with a pulley diameter of just 3”. He thinks it
is original. I don’t. It got me thinking. 

	I believe his is incorrect as it was converted here in NZ from a LHD
import some 30 years ago. BN1L 226180 

	The car has some clumsy conversions made to change it to RHD, so I
don’t know what else might have been ‘cobbled up’ to get the car
on the road. 

	Can somebody of you please confirm that 3½” is correct. 

	That said, I need another for a second 100 engine I am building as a
spare. 

	They seem to be scarce down here in NZ, and repros seem to be rather
expensive. 

	Fingers crossed. 

	Mark
