Pulleys ?

A quick google for "4" pulley supplier uk" yields a huge number of suppliers. Far quicker for you to do the same than it is for me to repeat them all.

Where are you based?

Gould Pulleys & Drives Ltd Unit 19 Worcester Road Ind Estate Chipping Norton Oxon OX7 5XW

Used to be called Aluminium Pulleys Ltd

Haven't used them for a while, but were very good stockists if things like stepped pulleys etc.

Already tried Google and just get loads of stuff like Kellysearch results, that don't help much.

What I was hoping to find was a catalogue online so I can identify a part number and order online or by phone.

I find most of the results in places like Kellysearch don't have decent web sites and I'd prefer not having to phone huge numbers of places only to find their minimum order fee is 'industrial', or that the unseen part doesn't quite fit my needs.

Cheers though,

How about grinding a form tool for the groove and then turning your own pulley from 4" aluminium bar? (You might have an interesting time parting off, though!)

Sadly I haven't yet reached lathe owning status, or I'd probably end up making everything myself (judging by usual form).

Their catalogue shows vee-pulleys and we have purchased these from them previously, but a phone call to them confirmed that they have stopped manufacturing V belt pulleys.

You could try Picador

They don't have a detailed catalogue on their web sit, and might need a phone call to see if they have a size and bore which suits.

Try RDG tools at Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. I think he has just aquired a lorry load of Picador pulleys. He certainly had a good selection on his stand at Harrogate. Phil

Forget the net, try the Yellow Pages, under Transmission Supplies or similar. If you want cheap, try the local car breaker as your preferred size is close to common alternator pulleys.

Thanks Jim, That's the best I've seen,

Found a 3 1/2"diameter on 'A' section one today. Was 3/4" bore but been sleeved back down to 14mm with keyway, Any good?

Thanks Phil. I've found RDG tools have shop on eBay with a selection of pulleys, as you said. I'm surprised that normal searching on eBay doesn't bring them up! But here they are, if anyone else is interested:

Looks like I'm going to have to bore one out to 14mm somehow.

Scrim

Thanks Tom, I'll check that out. It seems that 14mm bore is the problem now.

Scrim

That sounds great. Yes Please!

I've contacted you with snipped-for-privacy@stevenson-engineers.co.uk if you can find it amongst the spam.

Scrim, Nothing got here past the filters yet and your return address isn't valid.

I'll try again.
