Today, I already finished my Underdrive Pulley.

Itīs 25% smaller than the stock Pulley.

Aluminium bought at ebay


milled the outer diameter to 151mm and drilled the screw-holes


turned the rear side and then the front side


the finished Pulley

Did you do all that lathe and mill work by CNC or manually? Awesome build so far!

Itīs measured and drafted it by myself.
Its all done by CNC-Machines, because the contour of the belt would be very hard to lathe by manual.
And the engraving wouldnīt be possible without "my" machines.

If it works good, I will take the drawing on this thread, so that everybody can manufacture it

PC would look good. If you leave it clear like that, how would you protect it so it doesn't corrode? Or would you just polish it every couple weeks?

This is the reason, why iīm thinking abaout powder-coating. :-)
But I could paint it with clear rim varnish.
