[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 8192, member: 456"] I've only got access to one car modern enough to have this kind of belt. It is a Toyota Land Cruiser 4 cylinder turbo charged diesel. As far as I can see under the bits and pieces all the parts which are driven or do the driving use the grooved side of the belt. Only the tensioner uses a plain pulley on the smooth side of the belt. However, as I wrote earlier, Flymo do use the grooved side on a plain pulley to allow for misalignment or flexing. Try it, but do not be surprised if it slips or you have to use excessive tension to stop the slipping and hence limit bearing life. I have in the past provided just the pulleys and belt to people who already have their own system but it is unlikely that your shafts will fit the centre holes of our pulleys and it might mean making pulleys with nothing other than pilot holes in their centres. Alternatively, as the kit we provide is not a money making scheme but rather there to help fellow Vincent riders, I can send you CAD drawings or files so that you can make your own pulleys. [/QUOTE]
