Default RevXtreme Keene Bell billet prototype...



I made the outer lips over twice as high for belt retention & will add an anti slip texture.....any other features anyone would like to see? Looking for feedback. It's 6061 T6 Billet Aluminum.

How about a non-slip design like Reichard makes?
What about a quick-change interchangeable pulley setup?
Just a few thoughts.

I like the quick change. Already will have a better non-slip design than the cuts in the other (we call it the Gator Grip) as our idler pulleys will have too. It's a cros-hatch texture to grip more area. Good feedback! Keep it coming.

Don't have the dampner pulley yet, but will in the future.

On one off's, yes. As long as I have all the dimensions you need it to be. They are labor intensive....I usually have $300-400 in labor alone in each prototype & when they are perfected we have them done on a 3 axis CNC to get the cost down.

What about adding latitudinal grooves in the ribs to help aid in preventing belt slip?

Finished product:

Has "Gator Grip" texture cut into the grooves, Is a 2 piece so we can do a quick-change to different sizes with one hub, higher outer lips to help retain the belt, etc.

my KB pulley shipped to you today. Hopefully it IS the same as the one you made for the Vette. Looks awesome, can't wait.
