Yes please! I've been waiting forever to get one of these from Higgi when he makes them again. I have seen MANY people in the past expressing interest in these.

sorry for my ignorance, but what benefit is the FD pully?
is it the dual pully for the alt/water pump by any chance?

Its a dual belt pulley for use with an FD alt in an FC.

Higgi's version has a nice rotor shape on the front too. Last time I saw pics of them he made them in many different colors.

Tell hIGGI to get in touch with me if he's serious.
I'll stock them and make it easier for the US guys to purchase.

I'm in.

I have one from my FC alt, but since I upgraded to the FD alt the FC pulley has been sitting in my tool box.

And I agree w/ Ted. It would make it a little easier.

I NEED one. The one I got from a Canadian source (which will remain nameless only because I forgot who I got it from) is not machined correctly. One Groove is deeper than the other and it keeps breaking 1 belt.

What's the purpose of dual belts? I have an essentially stock S4 N/A, and it's likely to stay that way for a while. Where does the 2nd belt go?

many people mod the engine to the point where the only things that the belts go around are the main crank, the water pump and the alternator. With those three items being nearly vertical from each other, their is not very much tension between the 1 stock belt and the water pump pulley (which is in the middle of the 3). Enter the dual belt pulley. It adds more belt action to the pulley, and its cheaper then buying all new pulleys to incorporate a serpentine belt or something like you see on a supercharger.

before we will waste any more words, i would like to mention one thing :

USD is now worth half of what it was in time when pulleys did cost $50 including shipping...that would make price of pulley around $100...

i am very aware of that and thats one of the main reasons, why dont really push any products anymore, its just not worth it, or it gets too expensive to find any buyers...

Ted,

If Higgi (understandably) is unwilling to sell to individuals due to fear of them backing out because of increased price...which I understand since I work with several individuals and company's in Eastern Europe...please PM me when you have some and I'll purchase immediately.
