my new denso pulley has a 15mm hole, and the pulley has a 17mm hole

the easiest fix i can see is to put this sort of thing in

its tiny though, too small to be done on a lathe i think... any ideas?

may be a long shot buy try a cycle shop, see if they have any head stem spacers. they may do the job if small enough. carbon, steel and ali i think they do them in.

awesome halfords? or do i need to be more specialised than them?
i think theres a specialist round here somewhere

just been looking for them on the net, didnt look at the size, these are going to be about 20mm+ at least not 1.5. but what about maybe a sump washer? their are some small nissan ones about, or maybe fibre washers depending on its use?

make one on a lathe - it can be done

[edit]
thinking about it a bit more - is the pulley a press fit job ?

cant you open the hole up in the pulley to make the spacer ring bigger.

what altonator is it off?

or if its a steel pulley just weld the hole up and lathe it out again.

ive done it before i welded a ring in the middle of the hole to build it up then filled it each side. just dont go mad let it cool a few times.

saying that you only need a mm i would just put a thin weld around it then skim it out.
