King Performance 6.7" Billet Crank Pulley with Steel Hub
Short answer: This is King Performance's stock-diameter 6.7" billet crank pulley with a frenched steel hub for air-cooled VW Type 1 upright-fan engines. Choose spoked or solid, black, blue or red, and a stock or sand-seal hub; the top pulley is sold separately.
A precision-engineered billet crank pulley for air-cooled VW Type 1 engines, in the stock 6.7" (170.7 mm) diameter so your fan and charging speeds stay where VW intended. Its "frenched" design recesses the steel hub into the aluminum body for stability, concentricity and a clean, high-end look. Choose spoked or solid, black, blue or red anodizing, and a stock or sand-seal hub.
Built for both traditional and modern EFI setups, the back is pre-tapped for a crank trigger wheel.

Installation Notes
King recommends red high-strength thread locker on the crank pulley bolt and 80 ft-lb of torque. Align the belt to your alternator or generator pulley with shims. The belt drives the cooling fan, so keep your charge light working. Anodized color can change over time with heat and UV; this is normal.
