Thanks for all the posts.
 My new pulley will have 8 bolts holding it on and less tension on the belts. I have one long
belt, E-water-alternator, and one short E-water. The E-water belt  has no adjustment but has a 180
rap around so the new one can have lower tension than previously.
As a matter of interest the motor retained its 'cool' at a descent rate of 100fpm at 2500rpm and
110 knots, so I could have landed at another strip some miles away.
Thanks again for all the posts. Ian Beadle Australia.
