MG MGB Technical - Pulley wheel

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if this pulley wheel is suitable to be fitted to my engine? Some of the rubber is missing (which got weakened when it was degreased). I wouldn't normally think twice and replace it, but these seem hard to come by. Are these an assembly as a new rubber section would make it as good as new.

Regards,

Alex Davies

I don't know enough to know if that one is OK but if it isn't there are places around that can repair pullies like that. It's not a DIY thing I think.

Search for 'harmonic damper' or 'harmonic balancer' rebuilders.

I probably would not fit it to mine. I would be concerned that the inner/outer damper rings would be prone to separation. Second Simon's advice.

Alex, It does not look much different to mine, they are quite expensive to replace. I would be inclined to use it but keep an eye on it for a while unless you are flush, then replace it.

Mark a stripe across the inner and outer parts , run it and watch for movement over time. Junk it if it shifts.

I sent mine to the "Damper Doctor" and they completely refurbished it. I can look up the Email address if you want.Rich O

Alex, Andy Jennings who advertises on this web site for second hand spares, advertises pulley wheels at £15 each.
