Title: Buy a part to modify it
Post by: Crosley.In.AZ on June 05, 2004, 02:13:02 PM
I needed a dual belt altenator pulley for my sbc in my dodge.

i found a chrome pulley that was close, but would not bolt on. So I machined it a bit to fit.

All I had to do was cut the center down deeper so I could get a nut onto the alt's shaft.

I don't like the depth of the belt grooves, so I most likely will change those too. the grooves are slightly narrow, so the belt sets up a bit high

Can't us car guys leave anything alone?

:lol:

============ the belt height deal I am unhappy with was discovered friday eve when I bolted the pulley on and hung the belt over it.

Ummmm  no ....  isn't that the whole point?

Thanks to seeing all you guys fiddle with and modify things, I actually think I might be able to try my hand at some of this too.

Of course I don't have fancy lathes and stuff like that, but I can try?

Standby to standby as they said in the Navy .......wait, I was in the Air Force. Don't look for wings on my car though.
