Wazee Tensioner Pulleys

[DLF]

Wazee (http://wazeepulleys.com/) makes real nice polished tensioner pulleys for the Mustang crowd, and I've got one on my Cobra. I sent him a stock SC pulley and tensioner, and he's willing to make them for us. 3" diameter, stock width, replaceable bearing, using 6061 T6 billet CNC machined aluminum.

He needs to make 30-50 at a time, and they'll sell for ~$42.99 ea. + shipping (est. $11.99 for a set of three). The first batch should be ready in about two weeks.

Any interest?

Doug seems he already makes a 3 inch pulley..Whats teh difference..And why the change to these from the heartland ones?...Curious

[DLF]

The three inch pulley he makes for the Mustang's isn't wide enough and interferes with the tensioner. The Heartlands aren't finished well enough for my tastes

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

Good enough answer!

Should be done in another week or two, I'm trying to find out exactly when.

[wazee]

hey all. The pulleys should be done hopefully by the end of the week. I ordered 20 so quantities are extremely limited. They may even be done as we speak. The shop told me that the pulleys had to go through one more test for clearance on the bracket and they will get the correct milling on the backside. I will visit the shop in the morning. BTW, I am a nut about quality. They are going to be bad a$$ pulleys. If you have any questions you can call me 904-591-5803 10am-10pm est.

Will these be coated or just polished?

[wazee]

I polish the pulleys but I don't get inside all the little areas. That would take a lot of time and nobody wants to spend big bucks on a pulley. I don't even waste my time coating pulleys. It's like wearing a t-shirt for a bullet proof vest. You can do a final buffing on them and mask off the bearing and spray a little clear coat on the front and back. I saw VHT makes some high temp clear coat that looks like it would do the trick.

[shotbirdsc]

I am interested, when you have them back can you post the pictures or send me an email with them. buechine@hotmail.com

Thanks Eric

[wazee]

sorry about the reflections but you can see the surface really well in this pic. I added a crowned bevel for extra grip ability.

so guys whats the thinking on these pullies???

i went to the ebay auction they look like a sweet pulley! but im a little worried about the "should fit" part of it.....i have an 89, will they fit for syre or not??? also if they are made in sucha limited quanity what-if a bearing goes bad on one of them(since they are replaceable im assuming that one can be bought or "warenteed"??


i would love to buy a set off ebay tomorrow AM if my few questions can get answered!

i was going to buy some billet flow but they didnt seem to interested in having mu businesss......took 3 days to get a reply email which said to call a different number....

[wazee]

hmm, I don't know all the cross reference years, I was just covering my butt in case with the might fit. If you decide to get one and don't like it just send it back. I just request you return it like you got it. The bearing is a standard bearing which you can buy anywhere. it is a 6203-2RS bearing which is the automotive industry standard for ford and chevy pulleys. about 5 bucks at napa. No offense but I think the bearing will outlast your car.

[DLF]

The bearings are replaceable, you can get spares and snap rings on Wazee's web site.

As for the fit, I sent him a stock tensioner and pulley, which is what he used to design them.

I've got a set on the way, so you can wait for me to get them if you want, but since I'm already using his pulleys on my Cobra, I'm pretty confident.

[DLF]

Received mine also, they look great and fit the tensioner well. I'll reserve comment on the bevel until I see if the belts wander.

Good Job :D

New Auction:

[minbe]

Mine came in. The same day as my new crank/WP/alt pulley set. Nice pulleys.

[minbe]

Anyone else having problems with these? The stock washer is not deep enough to clear the extra thickness for the snap ring. I guess it's off to the hardware store for some extra washers.

[cougarsc]

I think you can bolt it on without the washer, It was just a dust shield for the stock one.

[DLF]

Correct, remove the washer.

[Mike8675309]

Just checking to see how these are doing with the tapered surface. Most I've seen are flat.

Everyone happy? I'm shopping.

Thanks

[Flip]

Mine are working great!!! :D

[DLF]

Mine are fine, perhaps wearing a little quickly, but I didn't put on new belts, and probably should have.

[cheeriosluvr]

mine are working A-OK !!!!!

There's a link to the web site in the very first post in this thread. Send him an email.

[SC UL8R1990]

i just emailed him, hopefully he still has some. i dont want to have to kick myself in the face :(

[Mike8675309]

What do you mean by wearing? Shine just coming off the surface, or actual material being removed or wear in the bearing journal?

I don't think I've seen any of the tensioner pulleys that various companies are selling that are "hard anodized". So I guess they all will wear to some extent. I would guess that if someone wanted to they could have these pullies hard anodized themselves.

Bearings are fine, the surface is getting a little rough.

i just emailed him, hopefully he still has some. i dont want to have to kick myself in the face :(

I emailed him a couple days(06/08) ago and here's what he said:

"I am making a bunch this week. Should be 3-7 days out."
just search under mustang cobra and you'll see what you're looking for :)

Ive tried several different aluminum tensioners and they all seem to scour a bit...Actually its always the one used for the blower
