    Did you get the pulley??

    You have to be vary careful when these guys switch to "Wire Transfer" as most of the times you'll not see anything in return.

    Today! Postal delivery required signature. A very curious postal worker tries to get it out of me......"what did ya get from South Africa?" I told him.....a pulley.....He was puzzled so I gave him a very brief version of the saga of finding the pulley from the company that once had an office in the US and was assumed by another company headquartered in SA.

    Tomorrow it will be installed. I am SO happy!!!! I missed the extra ponies and torque...I had become spoiled...

    Scott, good to hear your voice bossman!

    Mechanic just called. Pulley is perfect and SC is working fine. He wanted me to know he took if for a test drive and was impressed.

    Life is good!
