pulley_lock_002.jpg
329 viewsMy original pulley lock that I got a previous mechanic to whittle out of steel for me. It's rough but it still serves me well to this day. This is what inspired me to design the newer version, using www.emachineshop.com CAD software and manufacturing.
Though it can be used with the engine out of the car, it makes the job much easier when the engine is in the car and the pulley fan needs to be removed.

316 viewsClose-up of the single-to-double hitch the previous owner made. I had to use a 1.25" to 2" adapter to pull it behind my Jetta. Was a little squirly even though I went no faster than 60mph. Definitely will be stable once I make a real hitch for my Squareback.

exhaust_01.jpg
308 viewsAdded flanges to lower muffler-to-heat-exchanger pipes. Was previously "fixed" by welding the muffler to the exchanger. Thin metal sections strengthened where needed (holey) and tack welds added to keep parts from loosening.
