Son of a bitch, and I just bought one of banzai's w/o the rotor. But, for half the price, I can live without the rotor I guess. F*** it, I'll powdercoat one on there.

Holy ****, I guess I was wrong. the $45 pulley from banzai has the rotor machined into it! I could not tell based on the small pics on the ebay site. This thing kicks ***!
No. Thats the point of the dual sheath pulley, to restore the 2nd belt on the waterpump that gets eliminated when you ditch the airpump. If you're still running an airpump, you already have both belts on the waterpump and thus can't fit a 2nd belt on the alternator.

I think that might be as close as "off the shelf" your gonna get.

It comes ready to install on teh FD alternator, no spacer needed.
The FC alternator uses a small spacer ring and then the pulley parts (they are in halves) go on top of that.
The FD alternator uses a single pulley with the spacer made into it, and no spacer on the shaft.
Banzaitoyota's pulley works the same way.
I did notice that I had to run a couple of small spacer washers with mine, because the back of the pulley would not clear the front of the alternator case. However, I had my alternator and pulley apart and powdercoated, which sometimes affects the fitment clearances of parts. I could have ground on the front of the alternator a little but I just ran 2 of the thin copper crush washers that rx7s use for the oil cooler lines, and its working fine now.

Awesome, your a lifesaver Kevin! I have a FD alt and the pulley doesn't quite fit (the extension isn't enough). Now I can just use some of my spare oil cooler washers. Baddass.
