A bit annoyed to say the least, He said he is going to get it sorted.

Morning all
On my precious 182, I had the PMS lightweight pulley kit and looking at getting these again on my 172.
However, after reading that the crank pulley should remained the damped style due to the potential issues the lightweight pulley can cause with damaging the crank.
