Vintage Power Wagons has exact reproductions of the original Power-Wagon Mechanical Engine Governor Pulley (also used to drive some of the early flatfender power steering pumps).
I had them cast them directly from an original. Only difference, they are cast aluminum verses the original cast iron. Will not diminish the life of the water pump like the original extremely heavy ones, and does not need to be balanced like to originals were.
Note that the Power-Wagons originally equipped with this optional drive pulley had a longer hub installed on the water pump impeller shaft in order to carry the increased weight of the cast pulley hanging out there between the water pump pulley and fan.
The price is very reasonable considering that a new mold has to be created for each casting plus all of the machining needed to finish them off. VPW has sole rights to sell these, so please place orders through them and not me.
