Dual Sheeve Alternator Pully?

Is there anyone still making these? I got mine from Banzatoyota a long time ago, but I havent been able to find his website again, and Manntis obviously isnt selling them through his website anymore. I know I only paid like $20 for it, so I dont want to blow the bank with Racing Beat at $50...

You can get them off old GM cars and from a local auto electrical shop.

Thanks! I sent him an email. We'll see what he has to say.

Anyone know of any other vendors that have something for a decent price?

EDIT: Thanks SGT Fox! I will look into that. It seems that after a search, I could have found the answer in the archives. What a newbie mistake

Looks like Wagner makes a replacement pulley the same as the wai one: Wagner W055-15

And some other one:

I sold mine to that cpt gloval guy a few years ago. Haven't regretted it.

My thought on this subject is if you don't have a clutch fan, there is not need for a dual sheeve pulley. However if you DO have a clutch fan, a healthy clutch works fine with a single belt. No slips at stock tension.

The above descriptions are with no air pump.

I will be running an E-Fan, but honestly, I just like the look. Hence why I want a super cheap one

I like the redundancy. If a belt breaks I still have another. Especially with no air pump belt, a dual alt belt gives you two belts on the waterpump again.

Thats the site. Thanks man. I emailed them to make sure they still sell them before I order one. That website is a bit "abandoned" looking. That page hasn't been updated since 2002, lol. I sent you a PM also.
