Are you taking orders? I wanted to order two custom HTD pulleys last year - about October time frame. Standard pulleys were not available that could be re-machined to work. One was about 5" in diameter, the other about 2 1/2" diameter. There is a custom pulley manufacturer in Laporte, Indiana, USA about two hours from me and I sent them the specs and I got a quote back for about $450 for both of them. The lead time to get the pulleys was about 6 weeks. My customer was anxious (he was anxious about everything) and money was not an issue. So I called the manufacturer and asked them if the pulleys could be made in less time - and that I was willing to pay a lot more. They called back and said no, they could not be made in less than 6 weeks no matter what the cost! Machinists (not machine operators) are in short supply in the Midwest USA and that seems to be creating situations like this. I gave up on the custom pulleys and ended up using twin V belts which was a lot less desirable.
