[VB] Porsche generator pulley works great

[veewee111 at aol.com]

Hi Sam,
The Porsche pulley halves, the center part those mount on and the nut are really superior designed parts to VW manufacture parts of these.  Even the Porsche pulley washers/shims are much better designed than the VW ones.  Go to your local Porsche meets and pick up those washers for far less $$.

If one does not go above 4,000 RPM there should be little risk of blowing up the fan.

Tks Eric&Barb, I agree with you.
Sounds like a mixture of my 63 singlecab and my 73 Thing.
I have a Meximotor, 1600 DP and a 3.88 Ring and pinion with 63 only 
little-big-nut RGB's, and am running 205-75-15 tyres, so I get 3000 RPM 
at 60 MPH. It does get a little warm going up the long stow hill to 
Redding on I5 at 100+ degrees F , I think I will add a 356 pulley to my 
generator, that way it should run a bit cooler when going at 3000 to 
3500 RPM.

In my 73 Thing I have a stroker motor (74x94) giving me a 2054 cc. It 
was getting high CHT's so I just aided a Porsche 356 generator pulley 
and now it runs with good CHT's. I bought the 356 parts from Pelican 
parts, and I probably did not need the shaft and nut, but got them 
anyway. Porsche shims are not needed and they cost $4.50 each!
