It binds up because..... The threaded hub part is about 3mm too short.

Smart ass. I'm asking why the threaded hub part might be shorter.

That sucks when things don't fit first time..! Time to make a spacer

Stanley I guess the reward is in the doing of it

maybe it's meant for an aftermarket case...make a spacer if that's the only issue.

It will throw the balancing out if we make a spacer, gotta go over the key. But if I get another pulley it'll probably throw the balancing out too.

Has it been machined?

No, not machined according to rod it might be a dodgy pulley but it should still work. He's told me what to do. Will give it a crack.

The sand pulley kits come with washers, with a cut out for a key way. This is to space the pulley away. THey are light.

Given the small mass and small OD, i would imagine it wouldn't have much influence on the overall balancing of the system, but none the less would minutely. But given the same scenario on the other side of the crank, does one balance flywheel shims for end float setup?

(Update: Just had a call from Craig of Crankshaft Engineering for my bit of kit. Yes it will make an influence on balance, will you notice, no. Its no problem.)

That's it.....one more crack like that, and you're out!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
