Group Buy: Alloy Crank Pulley...[Update, Orders being taken! PG 5 Post 81]
I have spoke to John at GMC about getting a discount on theese, he said he did try a group buy on SSC with not much interest but said if i can get between 5-10 buyers then he will knock £10 each!
For thoose who dont know what theese are, they are the pulley attached to the end of the crank that drive the alternator. Basically a standard pulley weighs about 1322grams, GMC pulleys are made of alloy so they weigh in at 355grams! Almost a kilo loss, so now you might think whats the point in this, well basically losing weight of the crank has the same effect as losing weight off the flywheel! Making the engine easier to rev and releasing a small amount of power that otherwise would be used to drive the pulley!
This is what they look like!
Another thing to think about is a standard pulley from Citroen costs around £120!
Final Price- £75.90 inc Postage.
If youre interested please put you name down!

OK i know total sweet FA about this so no laughing.....  If they're made from a lighter material are they likely to be less durable?

Its made of Billet Alloy so is very strong and durable, only reason Citroen didnt use alloy is down to cost! Now although this is cheaper than the citroen part i bet it wouldnt conform to their profit margins so they made it out of something cheaper!

There is a complete kit on ebay (made by Colin Satchell) for £100 delivered - that contains an alloy crank pulley, alloy alternator pulley and belt. Worth a look.

Heard nothing but good things about the GMC pulley!
I have a QEP L&B flywheel and these pulleys lose more weight off the crank than the flywheel does!

Do you know the weight of the crank pulley in this kit, as this is what makes the GMC one so good as its so light?
