The ET(Etils Tuning; not sure if that is correct spelling) pulley comes from the same manufacurer in Germany as several other "name brand" pulleys on the US market.

This particular design was created by Mr. Webb.

This is also the same company that produced the "Counterfit Alta" pulley that caused a big hoo-ha a little over a year ago.

I wasn't sure how the japaneezy comment fit in. Ours are made about 11 miles from the office and we are far from Tokoyo

OH, maybe he was implying you import Japanese parts I'm guessing. Sounds to me like you don't.

I'm quite fond of the new unobtanium pulleys from Yagottagetit Tuning.

Seriously though, just buy the M7....

or the Alta.....

or the Helix.....

or the WMS.....

or mine in a month or so.
