Hi, does anyone know if the fan belt pulley is available and replaceable? Now, I don't mean the actual pulley I mean the bit it bolts to. Four bolt holes and I assume press fitted to the bearing.
Just discovered one of my bolts is loose. On further inspection it is broken. A previous owner had goosed it and 'silly' coned the one bolt in

Oooooo. I found this

Land rover 300tdi viscous coupling flange | eBay

Land Rover Defender ,Discovery ,300tdi viscous coupling flange made from Bright Steel Billet 605M36T, this is a very tough steel cnc machined as a full round ,(with no ears to snap off ) and the precise machining ensures your original bolts will fit as intended.

I guess its a question of how sexy does your wallet feel?
Can you weld?
Worth a short with a nut/welder/grinder.

Try metal weld putty. It says you can drill & tap it..
But it would hold a nut & washer in place for another option,

Repair was an option as yes, I can weld and could easily weld a nut to it. My thoughts were balancing, but when I spun I it wobbled. Not like a buckled wheel but like the pulley wasn't central......?
