i'm looking to find someone to install a 15-16% reduction supercharger pulley in brisbane. i don't have the pulley yet so supply and install could be good too. i'm after a very stock looking appearance.

any reccommendations as to who can do the install and where to get the pulley from?

Hi,

You could try Sherrin Racing.

I use them for a support crew when I do rallies etc. They have a couple of minis which they race and rally themselves, so they know the car. They have an excellent workshop (probably one of the best in Australia anywhere) and absolute top notch mechanics. However, they are probably not going to be cheap

Cheers

Robbo

I'm told that McLean Motors at Everton Hills do a few of them, and I often see Minis parked outside their workshop when i drive past. I'll be dropping mine off there sometime in the next month or two to a pulley done.
(The McLeans in question are Cameron McLean and his brother. Cameron is ex- Aust Sports Sedan champion and occasional V8 Supercar driver.)

Ahh, I've had McLean motors do work before, so I'll give them a call.

Is Darren still the head guy there?

I'll also give Sherrin a call. Thanks guys!

bigturtle · Mar 25th, 2007, 04:12 AM

Let me know what McLeans say and what the damage is, as I'll be lining up for the same soon. I dunno who the head honcho is there. I knew Cameron many moons ago through another car club, but I haven't used their workshop services for a long long time.

R53MCS · Mar 25th, 2007, 05:23 AM

I'll givem them a call tomorrow. Will post up what they say... I can't beleive no one in Brisbane has a pulley installed... or no one is willing to post up where they had it done.

Hi,

For everyones interest I know that Cam McLean actually built the Sherrins race minis (and did a great job) before the Sherrins set up their onw workshop. So both know what they are doing with minis

Cheers

Hi all the way from USA, if I could ship Pete of DT Automotive to you, he could install the pulley in an instant! He's done pulleys for us in the Ocean State Mini Club (visit www.oceanstatemini.com) I encourage you to start a car tech day when everyone gets together and modify your Minis. Someone needs to be proficient with car tools. We fondly call Pete "Da Pimp"! He pimps our Minis in the Pixie Posse Racing Team (as of now, four women...)

Yeah, but you know you S's have trouble keeping up with my Mighty Cooper

We just got back from AMVIV and after watching all the pulley installs and work going on were seriously talking to the guys from M7 about flying them to OZ with all their gear and stuff to install and would probably still be cheaper than getting it done here. Just need a group buy to happen.

Cant wait to show off the goodies that we did buy and bring back though!!

LOL that would be great the worlds longest trip to install a pully, and what are they going to put on there visa?

Can't wait to see the goodies

Just rang McLean Motors - they have done a few of them, and actually keep the pulley's and belts in stock.. They take the supercharger off and press the pulley's off, this is apparently the best way so as not to damage the shaft of the supercharger.

That's where I'm getting it done.
