CB Performance Serpentine Belt and Pulley Kit, 7", Black OEM Style Pulley, CB1877
|
|
CB Performance Serpentine Belt and Pulley Kit, 7", Black OEM Style Pulley provides almost no belt drag like V-belt systems. This spins the fan quicker (no slipping!), and is easily adjustable. This kit uses a FULL SIZE pulley for maximum cooling!
This kit stops the problems of broken alt/gen pulleys and thrown belts while keeping the "stock" look. This kit is manufactured from a solid billet of T-6 Aluminum, anodized black, with the original style of the stamped steel OEM top and bottom pulleys. It includes timing marks at BDC (for easier valve adjusting), 0 (TDC), and 5, 10, 20, and 30 degrees BTDC.
CNC precision machined to spin true for that stealth high performance engine. Measures 7" in diameter.
The flat multi-grooved belt and idler pulley help reduce drag and lost power while increasing cooling efficiency and reliability. The all NEW Billet O.E. Serpentine Belt System is easy to install. The belt tensioner bracket is held in position by the alt./gen. stand base bolts, just bolt it on. Serpentine Belts run silent, true, and outlast V belts many times over.
Fits all upright, air-cooled, VW Engines, but does NOT fit the FI engines, nor the Mexican Alternator stands!

SCAT Serpentine Belt and Pulley Kit, 6 3/4", Satin, Black, Blue, or Red
|
|
SCAT Serpentine Belt and Pulley Kit, 6 3/4", Satin, Black, Blue, or Red, provides almost no belt drag like V-belt systems. This kit fits upright engines, and spins the fan quicker (no slipping!), and is easily adjustable. This kit uses a FULL SIZE pulley for maximum cooling!SCAT's kit comes with the Crank and Alternator/Generator Pulleys, Idler Bracket, High Quality Idler Bearing and Idler Adjuster, and all hardware. When you choose your color, it will affect the crank pulley and alternator/generator pulley. Serpentive belts do not slip nor flip, they are more efficient than V-belts. However, because they do not slip we do NOT recommend that you use a Serpentine belt if your engine's RPMs exceed 6000, it over-speeds the fan, since it doesn't slip like a V-belt does. This exposes the fan to more RPMs and they often blow-up. So a Serpentine belt system is GREAT for Cruisers (especially busses) that tend to run hot, you get maximum cooling airflow with a Serpentine Belt System.

Super Cool Pulley (Degreed) with Belt, for TYPE 1 Engines
|
|
This billet-aluminum pulley is an OVERSIZED crankshaft pulley that will turn the fan faster, for maximum cooling. Good for busses and convertible beetles, in the heat of summertime! Pulley INCLUDES the belt! Pulley can NOT be used on full flow engines (the pulley hits the return fitting) or engines with filter-pumps.
This pulley uses a 9.5 x 940mm belt.
WARNING: We do NOT recommend the use of this pulley on anything more then "mild" performance use, because performance engines can over-accelerate the fan, which can result in fan failure ($$$). Also do not exceed 5500 RPM with this pulley on the engine or the fan will over speed. Lastly; This is a nice pulley, but the degree #s are on 180 degrees out! It's indexed perfect, but TDC is for #2 and #4 because of this, don't let that throw you off (that's why we are telling you).

SCAT Chrome Pulley Nut and Washer Set, 80003
|
|
SCAT Chrome Pulley Nut and Washer Set, 80003 is a alternator/generator pulley nut and washer set. This is not "Race Quality", it's a dress up item. If you over-tighten it it WILL STRIP. It also has a cheap chrome that requires wax to prevent rust. But this is a decent item to compliment your alternator/generator pulley or pulley cover.To PROPERLY adjust the belt, you absolutely must start with the belt too loose, and remove 1-2 shims at a time until the correct tension is achieved. If you remove too many, you'll wind up tightening the nut until the belt is "tight enough", but the 2 pulley halfs are not squeezed together, and as the engine rotates the pulleys wear one another out. Every rotation the outer pulley moves out at the top, then in at the bottom, out at the top, until they are ruined. By doing it the 1-2 shim way, when you get the right tension the pulley halfs are tight against the shims and one another, and this movement and wear do not occur.
