Hi Mark,

Didn't we already determine that the Prelude pulleys were made for serpentine belts? I'm using the standard V belts from the 2nd Gen.

As for alt shaft sizes, the one thing I know to be true is that the 3rd gen shaft is larger than the 2nd gen shaft. I believe the ND is probably smaller than even the 2nd gen.

Dave (either one <g>), can you measure the ID of that 2nd gen Mazdatrix pulley? I'd be happy to buy one from Mazdatrix if I knew it would fit.

Thanks,
Rusty (doing right leg exercises)

Rusty,
Yes, that's right. I forgot about that fact. Sounds like Mazdatrix is your source.

Mark
