I make these for the Superchargers but I might be able to do something if you wanted to go from the crank to the ALT... I will talk to Andy in the morning to see what he may be able to come up with...

I've heard the term before, but I don't know what makes them so special.

Dan, let me know thanks. It's not a pressing need or anything, just exploring options. Is there a standard for tooth spacing and belt width/length? I need to keep my AC for this car but that can be overcome by ingenuity.

Tranquil, look at the link that 3rd posted. Yea I know that down under they're available thanks man, I was curious if anyone here was making/selling them.

Mostly an Aussie thing....not really available here. Basically it is a toothed drive to keep from slipping at high rpm. Can be harmful to alternator/water pump bearings if tightened too much (which makes them whine really loud). Basically they are for noise and flash under the hood. I have heard they get annoying after a while, but many people swear by them.

Mr.Genius on the Ausrotary.com forum makes them and people seem to like his work.

Those look really hardcore.

I doubt something like that would slip at all.
