China bearing arrived in 9 days. Pressed it into the pulley and it looked good and felt good. It took not insubstantial force to press it in. I don't see a high risk of the pulley coming off the binding. It had no markings on it, not even the model number. Now waiting for ebay thread lockers to arrived before the next step of installation.

Total boll@x!
In a contract, anything not allowed is specifically stated.
If not stated, it is allowed.
Such things are listed as exclusions, clauses, restrictions or under general terms and conditions of the contract.
That's why you can use aftermarket parts, unless your insurance contract specifies that you're not allowed to do so (which I've never seen in any t&c)
The contract doesn't say I can't replace car parts using DIY wood pieces. According to you I could use wood to make a control arm?
You wouldn't pass the mot, you muppet!
Nowhere in MOT T&C that says I can't have wooden parts. By your claim, therefore I can have them.

Ever heard of construction and use regulations ?
Know of anybody selling wooden parts ?
The MOT, in part, checks a vehicle meets C & U regulations.

Reason for refusal to test. From the manual.
. The vehicle is not fit to be driven when necessary to complete the test because of a lack of fuel, or oil, or for any other reason.

Actually only very losely, but inadequate parts would cover it.
Which part of the regulation does it say you can't use wood?

Look it up yourself. Show me where yoh think it allows them, or doesn't exclude them.
The rules are fairly clear.
You are capable of looking and understanding ?
It doesn't, in fact they are still building cars from wood - the parts which are appropriate to be made from wood.
I was demonstrating the stupidity of johnny2007's claim. Do we all agree he's wrong?Do feel free to try it and be sure to let us know how you get on...
Er, no!
