I really didn't want to work on the trunk today, so I started on my crank pulley instead.

I had a V-belt on it before with just an alternator. To use the Turbo Buick power steering pump, I had to switch to a 6 rib belt. I could only find one place that made a 1" mandrel driven 6" 6 rib belt. It wasn't exactly what I wanted and they think a lot of them, so I figured I would just make it myself.



I have a piece of 1" x 6" flat bar that will work. If I had a 6" round piece that might have been better, but I used what I had.



First bore the 1" ID in it, so I can fixture there and build off that centerline. Drilled it 7/8" and then bored to size with a boring bar.





The I found a piece of 1.5" scrap to build a mandrel out of.



I roughted out the OD in the bandsaw and mill and started turning.



Finshed to size. 6.000" OD.
