Thumbs up Radix Owner's, new Metco 100mm pulleys = more pulley wrap

I replaced the two 3.5"(approx) Magnacharger supplied idler pulleys with Metco 100mm idler pulleys to get more blower pulley wrap, especially if I pulley down in the future, and to aleviate the belt from jumping off the standard setup.

if anyone is interested in how this is done just let me know otherwise, enjoy the pics

Where did you get the pulleys? I thought of that same issue in like March and checked all my local auto parts stores and their catalogs and found nothing. Who makes 'em and where can we get 'em?

It does look very nice by the way!

I'll guess and say those are Cobra pulleys just because they are for an 8-rib belt???

still trying to get a harness for them, the actual 05 efans are right here all safe and sound though

However, since I have an 05, I'm going to look through my 05 manuals and see if I might have the option of hooking them up using the factory components, I used to have a VIN for an 05 truck with factory efans, but alas, I went overboard cleaning up outlook one day

Great,

Did you have to change the belt size?
How much gap is there between the belt at the center line of the pullys?

Just so happens I have some 4" aluminum stock under my lathe.
