SR1 driving 2.6Kva alternator - help needed
EdDee:
Stick with V's.... Much easier to source locally...
Another trick is to put a double V belt drive on it, where each belt is capable of carrying the nominal max load individually... Allows for plenty of redundancy should you lose a belt mid weekend out in the sticks... You can operate fine on a single for a few days, also, the belts will last an eternity with little or no adjustment needed....

Will phone around for supplier.
Thanks for the assistance

Whilst I am not overly enthusiastic for engine / alternator belt driven setups (direct drive is a much neater arrangement and places no additional load on the engine main bearings) I can see that this is the only realistic option for your particular circumstances.
Therefore to minimize the load the belt pulley arrangement will place on the flywheel end main bearing of your SR1 engine, its essential that the pulley is positioned as close as possible to the engine, and also do not over tension the belts.
To be able to further reduce belt tension when compared to Vee belts, it might be worth investigating what options are available for toothed belt / pulley combinations.

Listard-jp2, i have looked at the other options but have settled on 160mm and 80mm twin v-pulleys. This was the easiest way to get the job done.
I picked it up today and will try and complete the project by the end of the week.

The engine is almost ready to start but Lister used a 2 1/4" nut to secure the flywheel on the crankshaft. >:( >:(
I need to first get a socket (which I doubt) or make a tool ..... !
Then I need to get the torque setting for it as well. The only reference I could find was 200 Ft Lbs or 300ftlbs (different listers)
