Got mine from Motorparts direct,their ref was for 1984 rover sd1 3.5,FIRFWP1388,was 88 quidals in2008.
It did have an extra bit of thread on the front of the pulley shaft which I cut short to miss the body cross member.,john

Got mine from Rimmer Bros. a few months ago.

The one listed for Triumph TR8 has the heater hose stub (required) and doesn't have the viscous fan thread, so no chopping required.
Was £96 plus postage.

+1 also it is slightly cheaper than those with the extra thread that needs cutting off!

Other option would be to upgrade to a serp front end.

So, this is what I have at the moment but Rimmers haven't got any until the 20th of Oct



This one is the TR8 version. Is the Dimension from the engine mating face to the face of the pully flange the same? If so then that would do nicely smile

I have just measured the TR8 version , I don't have the other one, it measures 117.25mm between the engine mounting face and the pulley mounting face. I hope that is of some help!

Yeah, my one fitted straight on with no mods required (TR8 version replacing whatever was on there when I bought it).
