Deleting Alta 2% crank pulley...Where to find OEM?

Hello everyone.

I tried to find an OEM crank pulley on the Marketplace forum with ZERO results.
I want to swap out my Alta 2% crank pulley for an OEM but the mechanic who installed the Alta can't or won't find it.
Can anyone advise on where to find a used one or at least a discounted new one. I am having a VERY difficult time finding one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers, Doug.

I cant help w/oem crank pulley, because I haven't installed my 2% yet. I am curious about why you want to revert? Any vibration issues?

No problems whatsoever!

My issue is one of a warranty concern. Without going into details, I want to install the OEM crank pulley just until my warranty is up. Let's just say that my MINI dealership is very strict about what they will fix and not fix under warranty with the mods I currently have.

It makes me want to lose my lunch over the potential arguments with the dealer about what could go wrong with a 2% crank pulley, or what they say could be damaged by it. I'd say going back to OEM is a good move until the warranty is up.

Call Chad at Detroit Tuned. He might have one lying around.

God, I thought that thread would disappear into the bowels of NAM. Guess it will continue to find its way out.

I switched back to a stock unit too....but not for warranty reasons Good luck with your search.
