Hi all,
I have fitted a 1uz into an old Lotus. It is from a soarer as I needed a rear sump. It came with the hydraulic fan pump, i took this bracket off and got a bracket off ebay (2uz I think - it was a couple of years ago!) which is a bracket with a pulley that just runs in a bearing.
The problem is the pulley on this bracket started making a noise and the pulley (I think it's a press fit) just fell off. It looks like a pattern (copy) part not a genuine Toyota part. I can now just push the pulley on and pull it off with ease.
Can I weld the pulley onto the shaft? Or will the heat ruin the bearing? Has anyone got a second hand bracket with the pulley on that they want to sell? I need one with a pulley, not the four bolts to mount a fan like most of them have - I think these are LS400 ones(?).
Any suggestions/advice appreciated....
Cheers, Mat.
