	I believe this to be a repop, I compared this to a couple of original ones, definitely off, what do you think?  |

			Ebay Seller (d-thom100)was contacted, this was the response, 'Why do you think it is not original? It looks like every other original pulley I have ever owned or seen. It also looks like every other original pulley that is on ebay right now.'

			The only difference I can see in Pauls pulley is the area surrounding the stamped numbers. Looks like a raised or depressed area, depending on how you look at it. Another point, were some of these pulleys inertia welded, since I can not find any trace of a weld on some of mine and I assume they were made in two pieces then joined together?
