Default My ghetto pulley installer....

I got fustrated after looking for a day at all of the hardware stores for a M16 x 2.0 piece of all thread to seat the crank pulley so I just did it the ghetto way. Pulled out the chop saw and cut the head off of one crank bolt and the body off another. Fired up the tig welder, set them up in a jig and ran a bead around the 2 bolts. Threaded it into the crank and ran a nut down and works like a champ.

Thats straight Ghetto Engineering at its finest. Two thumbs up Phil. I probably wouldve done the same. I hate it when I run all over the place and still cant find the part. Got to improvise.

I was able to find a bolt with the same pitch and diameter considerably longer than the stock one. I just added spacers and washers under the bolt head to adjust the length and pulled the balancer onto the crank.
