Pulley Brands

Ive heard from pretty much everywhere that the ALTA pulley is the best to have. But how are the other brands? The two piece RDR for instance? Thanx guys.

I have the Mini Mania on my car but the local shop is only doing the Alta now due to the easier and more precise install. Alta is the one Randy webb uses at his pulley parties and it is a big reason while his average install time is 45 min BMP design ( Promini ) also has a pulley but I have no experience with it. Hope this helps a little

Why would anyone say that unless they don't know anything about P&D pulleys from Helix.
All you have to do is look at the Helix (forum sponsor) pulley (15,17,19%), all stainless steel hub and pulley, positive index stop on pulley for exact alignment, six allen head cap screws for even clamping tension. It is a [font='Times New Roman']beautiful[/font] thing.

In case anyone is interested we are selling refurbished ET Pulleys from the German Machine Hotties.

Actually only the faces needed to be re-polished are in 100% working condition.

Customs did not repack the box correctly and the faces got scratched cause 1 pulley got loose somewhere between here and Germany.

The wayward scoundrel is Still OK and going on my personal Mini.

I'm very happy with the installation of my 19% pulley from BMP (Promini).

it was easy to do (2.5 hours at a casual pace-taking pictures, eating, drinking) and the installation was so simple i was wondering if i was missing something. the OEM pulley is a bear to get off even with the puller.

the promini design is similar to the helix. 2 pieces, stainless steel, 6 bolts hold it together and it self-centers.-freaking simple. and the instructions were so good my wife even followed them! - they tell you exactly which tool and what size you need for each step.

good luck and you won't regret the pulley

...as long as it doesn't fly off or rust, whatever blows your skirt up will work just fine.
