Default Converting fan system from hydraulic to electric? Pulley found!

I am in the process of doing a timing belt/water pump on my SC400, and I have been wanting to delete the entire hydraulic system (not just plug it and loop the hoses).
as many of you know you need a LS400 fan idler pulley and bracket. its quite hard to fin them unless you can find a completely trashed junk motor. you can buy the bracket but the pulley is the hard part to find.

I found that Lexus of South Atlanta has a great parts section on their site and they have the pulley for a great price (i was expecting at least $200 as that's what Sewell quoted me for the hydraulic pulley). SO, you can buy the pulley on their site for $50 (70 shipped for me) and then get a bracket on Ebay for around 50-60.

Just thought I'd post this up since as I was searching the market place for the pulley and bracket combo, i saw so were many other people.

I haven't done it yet, i just ordered the pulley and bracket. i plan on getting a relay/temp switch kit off ebay and some decent electric fans. i cant decide if i want to drop the money on a full aluminum radiator yet :P.
My next purchase for my car will be headers, but after that the conversion will begin.
Ill post pics and make a how to for you guys!

If he dosen't take them. I will. My system just blew a nice size leak and I figure no better time to go electric.
