I've been toying with the idea of maiking myself one, a flat strip of steel, with two holes drilled at the same centres as the cams, two bolts with two nuts on each, one either side of the steel strip. This works as the later cars have allen bolts holding the pulleys on, therefore the bolt head would need to be the same size as the allen bolt...... if you see what i mean...... should costt all of £1 all-in!!
The pulleys that can wear are the belt idlers, you can only see them and assess their condition when the belts off really....

I haven't got round to measuring it, it'd take about two minutes to make the tool when i next do my belt..... i think the earlier cars had hex bolts, so might not be quite so simple on those i guess......
