Default 32V drive belt relay rollers

Hi
Does anybody know where to by reasonably priced drive belt relay rollers for 32V engines. All I looked at are in £40-60 range while 40V can be found from £13. Does anybody know if 40V ones can be used on 32V engines?

No replies so I guess nobody knows a cheaper price.

Anybody have the old ones lying around that they could sell for a symbolic price.

I would then replace bearings on them and put on the car. If not then I guess I will have to remove mine, check the bearings needed, order bearings, replace bearings and the put them back which would mean car off the road for a week or so. Not ideal but better then paying full price for new rollers

I can dig you out some old 32v rollers in a couple of weeks. Just cover the postage.

ainarssems,

I very sorry I forgot. I've added it into my diary now to do when I get home on Good Friday. The engine is stripped I just need your address and I'll send them to you. Please PM me your addy and I'll send them on at the Easter weekend. Sorry
