1" Bore Timing Pulleys

Does anyone have a source for a 1" diameter timing pulley? I'm flexible on HTD, GT2, GT3, etc. I just checked the usual suspects and nobody seems to have one. We're working on a swerve drive project and were hoping to use one to rotate the steering tube with.

SDP-SI - no
B&B - no
McMaster - no
Martin Sprocket - no aluminum bushings
Quality Transmission Components - out of business

Gates appear to be the only game in town. I've never purchased anything through them outside of their KOP vouchers. From what I gather, all their pulleys are machineable and you have to add the bore yourself, which is doable but less desirable.

Anybody have any insight on where to get these, preferrably as a COTS item ready to use out of the box? If via Gates, do they work directly with teams or do you go through a local distributor?
