Hi = Bill,=20
 
You're above=20 comments got my attention, since I just changed my e-shaft pulley = from=20 stock, to the one Mazdatrix sells (probably the same Racing Beat=20 pulley).  My engine was modified by Bruce in the past, and had = the=20 aluminum bypass pellet installed.  I got a new pellet with the = overhaul=20 kit, but it looked the same as the one I already had, so I saved the = new one=20 for possible use in the single rotor.  I just checked = Bruce's=20 site, and his description of the pellet states that it works with=20 aftermarket underdrive pulleys.  Mazdatrix sells these too, as = well as=20 the pulleys, and doesn't mention any problems using the bypass with = their=20 pulleys. 
 
My = question here is=20 why did you have to change yours?  Didn't it come from Bruce = with the=20 pellet already installed on the underdrive pulley? What would make = you feel=20 like you needed to change that? 
 
I'm = going to be out=20 in the garage later, playing with some of these parts to make sure I = feel=20 comfortable with what I've just installed.  =
 
Cheers,

PS- = I'm definitely=20 in for one or two of the e-shaft alternators, perhaps belt free for = the=20 single rotor.
