I am not the one confused, but when people tell me they have failures, I just want to know what failed. Bob has been up front and I have seen his photos. I know what the pulley is made of, and I know how hard I have ran it. They aren't factory made, and they can fail as the stock pulley can fail. Bad mouthing people who make parts for us isn't the thing to do here, and especially when those same providers go out of their way to correct the problem. Those of us that push the limits understand that and it isn't for thefaint of heart to run these pulleys. Dave just needs to stick to his own car and his own way of driving it. I appreciate the concern, but I know as well as others know what we are getting into when we decide to push the limits of these cars. I still want to hear about the failures, but only the Karmann pulley failures in my case. That way I know what to look for if mine decides to start to come apart. I will pull the pulley completely off this weekend as I get the roadster ready for the dragon, and hell, I might even bring it with me for a Saturday libation discussion session over a pulley and a drink.....lol
