i think to make any money on eaton pulleys for cobras youd proabably need to sell them fairly cheap, i can think of 5 companies that make pulleys for cobras off the top of my head, ranging from 80-160 dollars
if you want to see whats already out there to set your price try looking up billetflow, lightningforceperformance, steeda, reichard racing, or slp

I see steeda offers a press-on pulley for 80.00 (90.00 with shipping), but the ones I sell are modular so you can swap the pulley in only a couple minutes, not an hour. The modular system from them is over 120.00 with shipping.

My system is only 90.00 including standard (4-5 day) shipping for machined finish or polished finish is only an extra 5.00

Thats a good price.

do you actually have an 8 rib set going yet? also what about idlers, if i go to a polished blower pulley i think i will want the same for all the idlers.

I think I'll try to get a prototype 8-rib pulley system made tomorrow, what's the size most people go with? Also, I'm sure I could make idler pulleys but I would need to get ahold of a stock one to get dimensions from. Anyone happen to have a stock idler lying around they could send me. I'd be happy to return the favor with some machining!

OK boys and girls, I've begun making the 8-rib pulley system and here's a couple pics. The mounting holes still need to be drilled and the grooves cut, but you can get an idea of what it's going to look like. This will end up being between 2.75 - 2.95, what size do most people want?

Those look pretty damn good! I'minterested tosee how the finished product would look.

ButIf you're going to make multiple sizes, then I suggest making sizesstarting assmall as2.65. Two of your competitors in the pulley market will be running pulleys this small. One already makes and sells them, and the other has aleady started to design them.

Also, I think it would be a good idea to for you to make and sell the idlers also. Belt slip will be an obvious concern with smaller pulleys. Making idlers (including a snub/auxillary idler) would address that issue. And people would rather buy a pulley kit as a whole, and stick to one brand instead of having mis-match pulleys. Especially pulleys that are going to be attractive and look as good as those

the most common sizes are 2.76, 2.81, 2.93 and 3.1, as far as dimensions for idlers dont even worry about stock dimensions make them in a 3 100mm and 1 92 mm set. thats what most people go with for aftermarket stuff since it gives the best belt wrap.

nherbst454

As far as the dimensions I would need a stock one to determine the bearing offset for mounting to keep correct belt alignment. If anyone has a stock idler lying around I would like to get ahold of it so I can ensure I have the correct dimensions. I will then make them in over/under sized sizes as stated above.

i have 2 sets of stock ones in my garage pm me some info and i can get one sent out to you. don't think it should cost much to send one pulley.
