Do you have any of the final prototype pictures?

 

No, I forgot my camera, I went straight from work. Nothing really changed, the belt was picked up higher off the crank hub, and the top pulley bracket was cleaned up and made prettier. Nothing really big, just astethitics

Damn Q i just saw this post.....I could of saved you some $$$ on the R&D work and The CNC work maybe even the CAD work too. Looks like a nice setup though. Steven

 

Sure, NOW you tell me No biggie, the guys I am working with are really cool, and they are doing me well.

 

As soon as this goes into production I will be buying one. I have removed my alternator like 2000 times to adjust the rockers and I am getting a little tired of that

 

You shouldnt have to wait long.....start saving

Any update on these?

 

Yes they are available at Speed Specitialities web site. They are one of the site sponsors. I should be running mine tomorrow for the first time when I fire the engine. Hopefully I will have some video soon.

Q

 

I will also be firing mine up tomorrow. Put the battery charger on it tonight.

 

Hi Guys,

How are these working out?
Looks like I may need one.

Thanks

 

Other then the need to loctite the housing bolts on the alternator case, they work great. I have run mine all summer so far, at the track, on the street, and over 300 miles at a time. No problems at all. I do get a small belt squeel, and I mean SMALL when I jab it hard off the line, but other then that nothing to speak of. PM me if you need any more help.

 

How did you go about extending the wire attached to the alternator? Just ordered on the other day so I have time to figure it out. Don't want to go the cheap route and splice it. Thanks.

 

Thats really the only option you have, other then to make new lines from end to end. I used some solder and heat shrink. I routed it around the back of the intake and down the valve cover valley on the drivers side.

 

any more information on how these are working?
How many people have these now?
I'm trying to decide this week what to do about this alternator/valve cover
problem

Thanks

 

They work wonderfully. I have ran mine all summer, as have numerous other people. No problems to speak of.
