You could try the KRC 40150340 pulley I think it has a 12 mm bore but you will have,to check with KRC . It is a 3 rib pulley that mates with the 93 geo metro alternator. If you want to use a mini denso alternator with V belt drive RDG UK offers a 4" pulley with 12 mm bore very inexpensive allow about 2 weeks delivery. I purchased the conversion kit from Don Piggot it sells for about 215.00 plus shipping.
Good luck with your project. :wave:

well
when you are living like me in rural region we may have problems finding parts,competence,,,.
today i when at an wharehouse that buy all sort of surplus all over the province here,i found a V pulley at,,,,,,,,10$ .
the center hole is 5/8 and it has the key way,,
and i baught a bushing that i will insert so i will have the 31/64 i need.
i print the shematic diagramm of the pulley that i add download and showed it a machinist and he will take my 10$ pulley and adjust her at my need for ,,,,,,,,,,,,6 pack of beer!
i will take some pictures

ps now i must found a little alternator and i have a big 100 amp GM alternator rebuilt here for diesel 3116 engine and never been installed,,i will try too bargain it.
Like the payment system you have worked out!
Wheel and deal
Yeah, it can be done on the cheap (well maybe not as cheap as gervais), but it takes more time and work to source the needed bits. I was in a hurry when I did my 1200 seven or so years ago. This was when Don was still supplying lots of his kits. No muss, no fuss, pay the money and get the bits. I only had to find an alternator, a 50A breaker and the wiring. The ~$200 was worth it to me in avoiding having to do all the running around finding parts - pulleys, spacers, brackets, etc

so i am doing what i am doing.
no choices

Here is a picture of the brackets I mad out of 1" angle:
I did mine by sourcing the parts and installing after having read a number of the threads on this subject. Had a local welding shop do the welding I needed.

Well I don’t have an alternator conversion ...but I do have a pulley mod on my bike ....on mine ..I mounted the pulley. Close to the other one and cut the timing covers out accordingly ....this made it to where there was no radiator mod or push out from stock position ....I did this years ago ...and there no even a pulley there now ...I’ve never had any problems from the rather large hole in the timing covers ....I had thoughts at one time of having a belt driven turbo on my bike ....cost kill the ideal ...but I’m set up for it lol

well
i just spoked with a friend that is a machinist and knows CNC,
he said that the work need to be done to do 1 pulley will be a lot so it is normal it cost more because i need one,
now i am looking for some info about the RDG UK compagny

I think that you should seriously consider repairing your stock charging system. With led replacement bulbs available it would be easy to reduce your electrical load so that you have enough power without going to a higher powered alternator conversion. If you then use a Mofset regulator the chances of cooking another stator would almost be non existent in the future.
