Following what I was talking about a few weeks ago I ordered a set of these red Aluminium pulleys for £35 including delivery which includes the following:

 

Power steering

Alternator

Water pump

 

Further to this I went for an SRD Idler pulley however when I contacted Lee he informed me they now supply the Powerhouse Racing Idler instead which came in at £100 delivered.

 

Out of curiosity I weighed the standard pulleys using digital scales in comparison to my new aluminium units the results are as follows.

 

Stock power steering pulley: 601g

 

Stock alternator pulley: 272g

 

Stock water pump pulley: 454g

 

Stock Idler: 291g

 

Total= 1.618kg

 

 

Aluminium Power Steering pulley: 358g

 

Aluminium alternator pulley: 86g

 

Aluminium water pump pulley: 165g

 

Aluminium Idler: 239g

 

Total= 848g

 

Total weight saving= 770g

 

 

A nice little reduction in weight plus it turns out my idler bearing was on its way out so not a wasted purchase.

 

A few of you may remember I was Adamant I wanted gold I have just dropped them off and it is costing £30 for 7 pulleys to be anodised Gold (I got a spare set)

 

All in this has cost £165 for the 3 pulleys an idler and anodising.

 

I will post the finished pictures in my build thread when I pick them up.

 

And yes the pulleys bare a striking resemblance to Whifbitz pulleys.
