as there is not much room in the bay of the mk2 escort and i want to fit a bigger rad and electric fan.
can i cut off the first pulley as it does nothing or would it upset the crank balance etc ??

if it was cut straight it should be ok.

ok so i got a rad and will definitely need to get rid of this 1st piece of the pulley.
i will get it cut off this week so just want to see if anyone else has an opinion on whether i can just simply cut it off ???

get another pulley and test it on that. is there no way the rad will go further foward? or you could go fit the rad in the back and get a shit tonne of piping :P

Not running the power steering pump as this is fitted in a mk2 escort. Im running electric power steering.
The bay is not got much room and I have the rad as far forward as possible.

Ye as the lads said bring it a machine shop and get them to throw it on the lathe shouldn't be too expensive it's an easy enough job

Should be a simple job, in theory but none the less shouldn't cost too much to do. I'm on a lathe most of the time in work lol

As for balance, you should get it balanced, just like a flywheel if you removed excess material
