Thanks Reubs prob Rob mentioned to you it needs to be heated before fitting
or it needs to be pressed in? that is strange otherwise.
The bush fits very well onto the crank, but it just slips on. No need to heat it up. No play, or anything untoward.
Since it is just a spacer, once it is pushed back by the pulley and the pulley is bolted correctly, it ain't going to move, and it doesn't hold any weight itself.
A grub screw would be nice (but prob unnecessary), but then you would need to balance that somehow.
Its all fine to adjust the original design, but only if it clearly makes for measurable benefit. We do need to remember that the existing design works, and works fine.

What do you think of the toyota waterpump? its pretty compact vs A series.
It would look simpler all up if its suitable and blades face the correct way.
The only other thing I would like is CNC alloy tatoo on these things
like on the plate somewhere visible.
The toyota water pump looks like it could be a great option. Small compact, and as long as its easy to get a hold of seems like a great way to go, but I personally would be loathe to get too carried away on that as again, the existing design works just fine.
Adding in the extra pulley means adjusting the belt route etc etc - I really need to get my car done!
But as an on-going development process, that is just ticking over, then yep- go for it.
