Any interest in reduction pulleys

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

The spacer would go between the hub of the water pump
and the back side of the pulley not between the pulley
and the fan blade.  This would most like be a round
collar with the center button in it so that we could
have one water pump pulley that would fit all of the
water pump lengths out there.  If I didn't make it
this way, I would have to make at least three
different water pump pulleys to match up to the other
pulleys.  That is a problem today with all the
different pump shafts out there.  You get the wrong
one and now your pulleys don't line up.  Then the
average guy goes nuts trying to find the right pulley
or the right water pump.

Right now I am just kicking around the idea.

I'd like to see some nice looking pulleys, not sure
about reducing 
though. 
I don't quite follow the spacer collar idea though. Do
you mean just 
spacers to go between the fan clutch/fan and water
pump hub? If that's 
the case you'd need to replace the water pump with a
short shaft model if 
you have a long one now. That wouldn't be to big a
deal if you include 
the application and part number for the required pump.
Water pumps 
aren't expensive and do wear out anyway.
