If you're interested in saving money, you might check into the Prelude alternator pulley. I got a set of stock Prelude pulleys off of ebay and only used the p/s pulley (the alt pulley didn't fit), so I gave the alternator pulley to Bob Darrah for his 3rd gen alternator. It is larger than the Mazda pulley and fit perfectly. I'm pretty sure that Honda wouldn't charge as much as Mazdartix.

Hmmm, I know they sell a two belt pulley for the stock 2nd gen alternator, because I bought one, and bored out the center hole for the larger 3rd gen alt that I was using. Do you know for sure that the shaft is the same size between the 2nd gen alt, and the ND alt, otherwise called Geo or Suzuki? I'm not saying it's not the same size. I just never thought about the possibility.

Rusty (still confused)

Rusty,
I don't recall the actual shaft diameter, but the ND (GEO) is smaller than the Mazda. If you're interested in saving money, you might check into the Prelude alternator pulley. I got a set of stock Prelude pulleys off of ebay and only used the p/s pulley (the alt pulley didn't fit), so I gave the alternator pulley to Bob Darrah for his 3rd gen alternator. It is larger than the Mazda pulley and fit perfectly. I'm pretty sure that Honda wouldn't charge as much as Mazdartix.
