Just for anyone who is following this thread - we have announced a $150 price reduction as well as the introduction of the 'correct' double sided v-belt for an OEM look, and a faster and easier installation.

It's not, but we can probably list it on its own.

I checked with my local dealer to get a feel for lower pulley installation.
They said it's an 8 hour task and they do it from the topside.
The threads I have seen on the forum are all from underneath and average 4-5 hours.
Has anyone tried it from the topside? (a setup for fun banter, so please restrain yourselves ...)

PS: Just checked my local performance guy who’s done a couple of these, and it’s all done from the bottom (~4hrs) and did drop the belt in from the top (no disassembly) to route it. As a point of reference, Just got a quote on labor to replace the clutch & flywheel: dealer $1800, performance shop $600.

Was trying to figure out if we could make the Ecomm work to make these hidden products, but doesn't look like it will work. We will only be supplying these to customers who have purchased our crank pulley kit, and as replacements to existing customers. Best thing to do is, anybody who wants to order a spare/new belt who has our crank pulley, just email me at stuart@velocityap.com with your full name & shipping info and we'll handle it manually.

Installing the wrong pulley will cause the shredding. The lower pulleys for the early model F-Types have a slightly different offset than those for the later models (I don't know the cutoff date). The offset is the width of one belt rib and will cause the belt to jump the pulley by that one rib, eventually shredding that belt to a point of failure. VAP and Eurotoys are now familiar with the issue and will get you the right pulley if the wrong one was delivered to you.
