Default Re: LateModel21's Pulley Saver Kit - Installed

I'm really digging the machining on the face and the hard anodizing on the belt surfaces. All in all, this looks like it will really add some pizzazz to an otherwise very bland accessory belt drive system. I'm with grip though on the relocation of the SC idler pulley, it looks totally out of place and I'm more than eager to pay for a matching grooved pulley. BTW, talking about everything matching, what are the chances of getting a PS and WP pulley to match? Talk about sexy-time for the front of the motor!!! LOL

Old man winter decided to rear his ugly face and spoil the fun for me though. Didn't get them installed because between the 40mph winds and the cold temps, it was in the negatives with WC so I pussed out and stayed inside where it was warm. Really looking forward to getting them on the car and a huge thank you for making this happen.


I'm Glad you like them, Rudy. I tried to go the extra mile to make them compliment the look, fit, and function of the sweet 62mm SC pulley you made happen for us.

Yer killing me, however with the ever expanding list of added pulleys ...
I am sure I can do a replacement for plastic grooved idler ... have to pick a size though ... as it gets larger, it will reduce the wrap on the alternator and will likely make the factory belt obsolete.

The power steering and water pump are not tough to do ... I suppose I could look into those as well.

Chris
