Hi

All I can say is I'm having no trouble with my FC to PT conversion so far but it's early days yet. Time will tell l suppose. As far as pulleys goes try to modify an alternator or air conditioner pulley. I'm pretty sure that's what mine is. They are the right belt cross section, just need to find the right diameter. A visit to a friendly car wrecker ( if such an item exists) might help.

All the best
Jeff
