Clutch Alternator Pulley, Where To Buy One???

I've had a rattle/ticking sound coming from the belt side of my engine for a while now and so far ive replaced the cam belt and tensioner, aux belt, tensioner and idle pulley.

Next on my hit list is the alternator pulley as its the clutch type and i've read else where when they go they make a ticking noise.

I phoned ford and they want £189 for the whole drive arm with pulley!

I only want the pulley but i'm struggling to find one listed anywhere.

Where can i get?

Anyone fitted an uprated one?

Thanks

Graham

    I imagine that it will be much easier to buy a replacement second hand alternator. its probably more likely that the average person will replace the complete unit rather than strip one to sell as parts..

    I want a new pulley really, not a second hand one.

    Putting two and two together, I think you need to buy a new alternator then.
