Yeah, I can see those on eBay, but they are different to the OEM. You can whip your belt off and check it out in a second. I don't know what the advantage of that is

Yeah, i've heard of viscous coolong fan clutches on older Holdens but not heard of viscous alternator pulleys before.
I'll take your word for it that it's not a one way clutch pulley rather than take the belt off my VF...

In any case, this gates video is interesting so i'll drop it here
