pulley_lock_002.jpg
383 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.

381 viewsForward mount only works on late models. Needs to be re-designed to fit early and late models. I put some weight-lifting plates on it and it held 20 pounds very well, however, it became a little too bouncy for my tastes while driving. I removed 10 pounds and ran errands and the parcel tray held up just fine so I would rate it at 10 pounds maximum carrying weight.

375 viewsMy new design easily fits in your hand. It's 1/4" steel, cut with a wire EDM for precise radiusing of the pulley lock teeth, and ground flat.

375 viewsHere I removed the upper wood box. I took two of the C-channel side braces that were used to hold the wood panels and with a little drilling, cutting, welding, and two polyurethane castor wheels, made them into removable legs that can be used to support and move the trailer for the time being.
