Default Adaptor for TVS pullies on a Whipple

Do any of you guys with whipples (2.3 or 2.9) have any interest in having an adapter on hand that will let you use TVS pullies instead of the whipple ones? The selection of TVS pullies, especially 8 rib or 10 rib ones is much greater for the TVS blowers than the whipples in the offset we need. I designed an adapter in solidworks but to have a batch of 5 made they would be roughly $100 each. If I could get 10 interested people it would be $75 each.

Post up if you would be interested in one.

I attached a picture of basically what it would look like. The TVS side would have studs to mount the pulley to, and the whipple bolts are recessed into the adapter so the TVS pulley would sit flush.

Pretty cool. It's surprising how much further in the hub is on the whipple.

Hard to say, but I kind of doubt it. Do you know the hub diameter and bolt pattern of the LSA blower?

I think the LSA blower is a press on and its keyed. Not positive though...

The Lingenfelter kit removes the whole hub assembly for a new one.

The LSA blowers are not keyed. The stock pulley is pressed on. LPE and Metco have a hub that gets pressed on, and then the pulley (ring) bolts to the hub for easy swaps.
