I have a couple of pulleys that need to be replaced but. They do not make them anymore. The replacement pulleys that are being sold for this make and model do not fit properly. Where can I find the proper pulleys or how can I replace them with pulleys that don't exactly fit and make them work properly?

Hello,

One thing you can try is to source them from a salvage yard. It will probably be difficult to find one of those Eldorado's but if you can find one, get the pulleys and replace the bearings with new ones and you should be able to use them.

Another option would be to have a machine shop custom make pulleys for you. That way they will have the correct dimensions and spacing.

What kind of fitment issues do these replacement pulleys have? Is it alignment or size issue?

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
