What is the correct orientation of the aftermarket delrin clutch pulley? To me option 2 looks correct. When I get a chance I will look at the cable orientation to see which one makes more sense. The lip on the delrin is thicker on one side versus stock.
Option 1 with ridge on outside Option 2 with ridge on the inside |

I didn't notice a difference on mine when I install it. My assumption is that it was not made accurately. However as long as nothing is binding it maybe just fine. One way to confirm would be to drive it around the block then remove and examine the pulley and cable for wear

The grove is centered. The delrin has the ridge on one side. Its still centered because one side is thicker (the same as a narrower pulley with ridges on both sides). Need the ridge facing the carrier bracket otherwise it will rub when you tighten up the nut and not turn freely. Attached image(s) |
