Not from bar stock, on the back it is casted in there "Die Casting & MFG. CO
Chicago, IL. Really nice pulleys though. I hope no one got plugged arteries from the Cheese Cake :)[/quote]

Interesting, they sure don't look cast in the pictures on his web site.[/quote]

Dont feel like it by there weight. I just put a magnet on them and no sticking maybe not die cast as the company name sez but from bar stock from them, that feels like it and makes more sense.
They weigh 2x more then the factory pulley.

Emailed Skip about it, have not heard back. I dont want to Gorilla it on. It should fit like a glove, but not like it is now on OJs hand.
I hooked up my drill to the spindle shaft to turn the HS pulley shaft and polished up, fits fine now.

Quite often if a pulley won't go on a shaft and the shaft is clean, I put the pulley in a toaster oven at about 300 for a while. It will expand a tad and slip on. Don't forget the gloves! damhik! (JPG can translate that)

It will be interesting when you go to take it off! ;)

JPG is struggling with the translation task.
