[Tigers] Tiger Gen pulley size

[wseay]

Here are pictures of my OEM Tiger generator and the "dime test" applied to 
the pulley.
It's my understanding that both the generator pulley and the generator 
mounting bracket, although standard Ford parts, are unique to the Tiger.
The mounting bracket moves the pulley back and the pulley positions the 
pulley slightly forward.  The net result is that the generator pulley lines 
up correctly with the crankshaft pulley.  Many years ago, I replaced the 
generator in my Tiger but kept the original generator rather than turn it in 
for the core charge.  I ran on the replacement generator for years and, only 
recently, discovered that my old generator had the correct pulley on it and 
that the generator that I had used for years caused a slight misalignment 
with the crank pulley.  The car is now happily using the original generator 
and pulley.  Pictures are of the refirbed original generator/pulley before 
they were installed.

The Dime test.

Way back at one of the Suni events, we needed a quick test to see if the
pulley was correct.

We found a Dime is JUST a LITTLE large to fit between the belt and the
fan blades.

The NON-Tiger pulley had no where near the room for a Dime.
