December 27, 2009: Small diameter serpentine pulley mounted

The next weekend I got around to mounting the new pulley!

Bracket


Magnet


Pulley!


Here is the original serpentine pulley I had custom-mounted nearly one and a half years earlier:


I selected to custom build using that pulley because of how small it is, but actually the Mustang pulley is even smaller! The reason why this is great is because I won't have to rev my engine as high to get the same RPM out of the compressor. I am very, very pleased with the Mustang pulley :thumbs:

Break down of all this:

The Mustang pulley has about an inch clearance near the charcoal canister; I am not worried about it contacting.
