Crankshaft Pulley
geoffxt - 23/7/10 at 10:24 AM

Hi,
I'm still looking for a 2litre pinton crankshaft pulley to fix my megajolt trigger wheel to. Diameter approx 115mm.
Surely someone has one spare????
Can if you wish swap for a brand new double pulley!

they come up on ebay every now and then....


I've got one, but its cracked
so I took some sizes, tweaked it a bit and got one of these made

flak monkey likes making pulleys (well, don't know if he likes making them... but he can make them)

maybe he could make one with a trigger wheel built in?

the trigger wheel needs to be made of steel/iron or it won't work

Hi Geoff could you use the one you have if machined to fit the trigger wheel ? if so then you could call over some time with it and im sure I could machine it for you.

Hi Paul,
Thats a very kind offer. Do you reckon that you can cut/turn off the front section of the double pulley it's a cast one?

Probably, I cant remember exactly what the pinto pulley is like but assume it is just a solid cast pulley with 2 vees ? have you got a trigger wheel yet ? if so then as long as theres enough metal to turn down to leave a spigot for the wheel then it should be ok, the wheel will want a few screws through it to retain it also.

The pulley is a solid one with two vee's and I believe that it should be possible to remove the front of the pulley on your lathe. There should be enough of the pulley left to attach the trigger wheel (which I do have) onto the remaining part of the pulley. How you do it I need to work out. I'll try this evening to send you a couple of pictures by email. Cheers mate!
