[quote="phillb"]I pulled out an old generator I had stored away and it seems to have the larger pulley as used by the Cooper S.
I was online shopping for a replacement fan belt and noted one Mini site stocked a longer fan belt "to suit Cooper S with the larger
water pump pulley."
Is that a typo, ...do they mean the generator or was the water pump pulley larger too??
Typo.
What size is your pulley - 3 1/2" ?
3.6in so fraction over 3 1/2". Would be 3 1/2" if you measured where the belt sits i suppose.
Thanks Phill. No idea how it got a 3.88" pulley. Maybe it was from all the ex bathurst racing / ex police work.

I can't think of any other possible explanation. [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
This pulley was on a 63 dated English generator so...??
I also noticed something interesting about the generator was originally on the car, the mounts either end are mirror to the normal setup, i.e. different mounting angle and terminal different spot.
Both are aus made 64. Off a different model car I suppose. Still fitted ok.
