Which pulley did you get?
I got the Atla 15% -- version 1.0, I guess it would be called. Looks exactly as it did online.
This is it, right out of the box.
I've got two extra holes -- it's where you grab it for installation & removal. I've got my 4 allen-head screws already in place, and an included allen wrench.
Yours doesn't look like this?

Check your pulley and hardware !!!
While checking out my pulley yesterday I noticed that Alta did not include all the required screws
I have spent the last 4 hours searching every hardware store, auto parts store, and garage I know. NONE carry the screws
Thankfully one of my friends just happened to have 2 in his workshop which is how many I needed.
Just a heads up for everyone. double check and make sure EVERYTHING needed is with the pulley.

Abuzavi!!
Also, you will need the allen adapter (Available at autoCraftshop)for the allen bolts to torque down to the specified (inch pounds) by Alta for the bolts after you put few the drops of loctite on them.

The use of a proper 3/8” drive in-lbs torque wrench is necessary for this installation. DO NOT use ft-lbs
Tighten each M5 screw to 10 in-lbs (1.2NM). Continuing to tighten screws to 30 in-lbs(3.4NM), 60 in-lbs(6.8NM), and finally 80 in-lbs(9NM).
Recheck on all bolts after final torque sequence. Make sure to use Inch-Pounds or Newton Meters, not FOOT-POUNDS, or damage may occur to bolts and pulley if bolts are torqued improperly.

I believe that the autoshop should have the torque wrench as I do not have one. I actually hand tightened mine and have not had a single problem. However, if the shop has one, we will use it.

Bring the pulley with you. I will try to find you the bolts at Practiker or Hornback. Henry

Brad,
Literally, the pulley party would not have happened without you and Steve. Yeah, I might have had mine in time, maybe loesches, too, but RudyT and Smiley would have been standing there, twidling their thumbs, operating the jack, or super glueing their fingers together instead of adding more go-juice to their cars.
We are indebted. Much thanks.
Are for you yahoos, let me just say -- I didn't break anything on my car. My car is all R&D -- cutting edge technology going on there!
OK, enough chatting. Off to the Odenwald!
(Sweet weekend this is turning into. Best babysitting I've had in a loooooong time.)

Odenwald run was great, I just wish the weather could have been better...
Henry's pics are here...

Pulleys were all installed fine and the two small incidents were easily repariable (one broken ground strap point and one throttle sensor (I think) tube snapped off (Yea for super glue). All MINI's made teh run the next day so we can claim success.
