Hi Ryan,

I will have to see what I did. IIRC, for temporary fitting I just used an extra couple of nuts, the outside diameter was close enough. I will need to get a bushing turned to fit inside the bearing correctly for actuall use.



send me the dimentions you need and I'll whip one out on my lathe. I'm getting bored at work this time of year

Thanks for the offer Russ! I dug out the pulley and adaptor plate. It looks like I have it spaced out from the plate with a combo of washers and a nut. I have to go to work or I would take it apart and measure up the inner diameter and distance from the plate. Maybe tomorrow night...

Hi Russ, here are some pictures of what I have now and a crude drawing of what I hope you can make. Please let me know if that will work for you.

Thanks,
charlie

I think that can be arranged Charlie. I'm pretty sure I can have it done by the time you'll be needing it

Russ

[20 min later] bushing is done. PM me your mailing address again. I can't find it.

LOL I think that I read the sarcasm...

Yes, but he did a bang up job on the bushing!

I know I have said this a couple of years in a row... But, If all goes well, the work on the Aurora will resume on the 19th of Nov. The goal for this winter is to at least get it plumbed and wired. Maybe even fired up once. The exhaust will need some more work before it is road worthy. I made all the exhaust mounts solid and I did not consider expansion. I will have to see what kind of soft mounting system I can conjure up to make it work.

Bump...cause this is a great thread, and now, I have a '97 Aurora 4.0 sitting in my garage.

Hey! That sounds cool... What are you going to put it in?

I just got back from tearing out the wiring from one of the donor cars (86SE) so we can give the rest to the trash man... Once that is done I can get started on the 88 with a clear conscience.
