Agree. Might be an idea to see if you can find one in a scrappy with the right pulleys, save you having to fit a new new pump.

Technical Timing Belt help
fitting the new pump is not a problem 
only 3 bolts and a nut.
Would a different pulley, affects the timing ???? As it will less teeth ??
Just hope fluffy gets back to me
Many thanks everyone!!

No. Timing is really down to the size of the pulleys: the notches just stop it from slipping, is all.

Good job you noticed

Though i only replaced the pump, and at the time, i'd never heard of different pitch belts

EDIT - the belt in my link IS an mpi belt, so see if it looks similar to your wrong one

i don't have a pic of the mpi pump i'm afraid....but if your teeth on the pump look differnet to the 2nd and 4th pics with the pump in them , you have an mpi pump!

no, ALL of my setup was mpi...APART from the pump which was the older pitch.
If your new belt fits the new pump but not the cam pulley....and you r pump looks the sme as mine.....I'm totally confused!
Could probably sort it in seconds if i was there though. Show pics of each of you parts with new and orig belts.

The new pump is different from my old pump.
The new belt is different from my old belt.
But new belt works with the pump but not with the pulley.
The engine is a 1242 SPI.
I have been told to ask for a pump for a cinq sporting, but belt wise? is the fine pitch one, what belt should i go for ?
And i have already posted pics of old and new belt, and old vs new pump. If that's what u mean?

I think you're nuts not to go to a scrappy and get a pair of pulleys to suit the belt, BWTH.
Just tell Fluffy you want the belt off an early 1242 -- maybe a P60. He'll get the picture.

IS there reason for getting the Pulley or is that the easier route?????
Being in Glasgow .... many scrappy up here, don't like to sell bits off the engine, they will force you to buy the whole thing.
Thanks

Yeah, sure, the cam pulley is not too hard to swap, but the crank pulley is a bit of a pain...high torque and often corroded. Especially if the belt is off, the crank and flywheel are gonna spin and need locking down.
I doubt theres a technical benefit for the newer belt, so i'd just get the parts swapped for the correct ones.
