jevansio Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Just picked these up from Cleveland Chroming, a nice cheap way to brighten up pulleys without spending £100's on aluminium ones. The PS pulley is covered in little ridges which has made it not such a mirror like finish, but it's a hell of a lot better than the old black one in person. Will hopefully get installed pics this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 They'll be pretty heavy though surely? Standard weight plus a little chrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Are the pulleys easy to get off? I changed the belts on a mazda mx-3 and had to take half the engine out to get them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 did you not speak to ray 1st matey im sure he,d have sorted you out. Ray as in Reflections? I didn't bud, I didn't realise he did chroming, thought he only did polishing? They'll be pretty heavy though surely? Standard weight plus a little chrome? They will be yeah, I bet the difference in performance is unnoticiable though. Are the pulleys easy to get off? I changed the belts on a mazda mx-3 and had to take half the engine out to get them off Easy, 4 bolts for 1, 1 nut for the other, 5 mins My intercooler pipes are powered coated, I wanted the one onto the throttle with a mirror finsih. I had it sandblasted to remove the paint, but the chromers couldn't chrome aluminium. So I was left with the task of polishing it myself, loads of wet & dry & polishing later it looks like this I also made a bracket to hold my power steering cooler (before it was zip tied to the chassis), I'll prolly get some ducting to direct air onto it (it's basically sitting right behind one of the front bumper side ducts) Also got the above pulleys fitted.
