Big nut!

Did this item work well with your project? What vehicle type are you using this for? In my fleet of needy cars, there’s Jessica. My Carmine red 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500. Everything is nearly perfect except the engine, which is how I found her, with two bad engines. Since the original 1500 and a replacement 1500 came with the car, I decided to rebuild the original engine. The crankshaft needed minor polishing, but the crankshaft pulley and nut were seized and had to be cut off. Fortunately Rimmer Brothers has a replacement for a very reasonable price. I could have used the nut and pulley from the other bad engine, but new is better, and I may rebuild both engines eventually. I also bought a used pulley from Rimmer Brothers (in a separate order). It is the U.K. version, as expected, without the U.S. v-belt groove for an air pump. This doesn’t matter to me since neither engine came with the air pump and nobody makes new ones. Besides, the car has better emissions than my riding lawn mower and gets far less use!

Critical for that high performance 1300cc narrow bearing engine build

Did this item work well with your project? What vehicle type are you using this for? If you want to fit a duplex timing chain (and maybe even vernier timing gear) to your Herald 13/60 or Spitfire Mk3 engine, then this gear wheel is a must. The alternative in the past was a 2500 gearwheel with an adapter bush pressed into the centre, but these always turn blue with use int he engine and can break down, resulting in damage to the inside of your engine. This gear wheel is custom build from scratch so that problem won't arise.
