Would this work for my conversion?

[oldmopars]

Well I have been doing more work on it and I have made the pulley and adapter to fit the crank. I started with a Subaru power steering pump pulley. It is just over 4in and has 5 groves. I went this way as I got it cheap and it was ready made.
I then put it in the lathe and cut out the center hole so I could fit it to a hub I had made. I also made the hub on the lathe.

I also had to machine out the large washer on the crank timing hub.

Here is the pulley installed on the engine. I need to hunt down a bolt the right size, and I am going to drill and pin the pulley to the hub, but this is were I am at right now.

I will post more as this little project gets closer to done.

It looks like my images are a bit too big and it will not post them, but if you click on them and open them, they are in the gallery. I will try to fix this.

Nice work!



I fixed the links to your gallery pictures.
I think you were copying the link address in the browser address bar. Need to use the included image link you see below the full size image when your viewing it.

[oldmopars]

Thanks for fixing the links. I was in a hurry but wanted to get them posted.

Good to see that you are using a flat 4 pulley :good:

 

[oldmopars]

Yea, that Subie pulley was just calling out to me as I passed it in the U-pull yard. I thought about using a Subaru Alternator, but could not find one small enough. I used to be big into air-cooled VWs, something just draws me to these crazy flat fours.

Flat 4 tragic as well!!

Hey what is the cost of the conversion kit for a 83 goldwing now going for.I finally retired and have that project staring me in the face so here's me checking into it.

 

[oldmopars]

To my knowledge, no kit exists. I had to make my own as did others.

 

[blkhot08]

weren't some of your members selling the pulleys,, I guess that's what I meant.. the rest I know we would have to do ourselves but that's not to much of a problem.. thks

 

[dan filipi]

There was a member who had a bunch of pullies made a while back from specs we have in the gallery.
I think they were $120 each or there abouts.
There are also ways to build your own pulley from other vehicles. Some of those tricks are in this forum.

 

[blkhot08]

ok thks I haven't read many yet haven't been logging on much lately.. but will have a lot of time on my hands now. thks for the come back. have a gr8t day!! :Egyptian:

 

[backlander]

You can buy kits but they are way overpriced when it's easy to fab everything yourself and save yourself a ton of money. There are plenty of builds in the alternator conversion forum to get all the details.
