You want the OEM part number, or this aftermarket one?

I needed to get this up and running, so i did some deep cleaning, sanding of the rubber and the metal. I only lost a couple small pieces of rubber, so about 95% of it was still there and still compressed onto the housing well. Actually carved grooves into the metal, to promote adhesion. Then grabbed some Industrial strength glue that i applied to the mating surfaces and put it back together. Then placed it in a vise for 2 days to let cure and try. Then another couple days out in the hot sun. Put it all back together late last week and have taken it to work now 2 times. It appears it might be holding..."knocks on wood".

That's cool. Hopefully it holds up until you can get a proper replacement.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Thanks. Yea, ideally purchase from Palsports.


Well in a cruel twist of fate...it happened again. Made it about a mile from work last evening with the AC on and I feel the motor make a quick vibration and I knew immediately what it was. You can even see the glue.

Image


I got home and assessed the damage. All the same rubber was there, but the glue peaced out. It left quite a bit of residue, so i cleaned it off.

Image

Image


Knowing that an overseas pully was easily weeks to months out i started to brainstorm. Looked on youtube as well, but only topics were JB weld and fully welding it up. None of those sounded appealing. The rubber is still fairly tight and functional, but i need to stop it from spinning in place. I also need to stop it from flexing as it follows around the smaller piece.

That's when i got the idea to install 4 pieces of round metal in the shape of a "t". That way i can even out the spacing and keep rotational weight the same. Nails would be the trick. They are just small enough to fit through and can be welded on both sides.

Image

All hammered through...

Image


Now to crack out the dusty MIG welder to weld a bead from the inner pully, to the nail, to the outer. Note that the pully is cast iron, which made this process more difficult. Also didn't help that my welder didn't want to cooperate half the time.

Image


Then the front...

Image


Repainted...

Image

Image


All back together. Although i had to do some more light grinding to make the lip on the timing cover fit behind the balancer. Had a slight rub initially, but quickly cleared up.

Image


I took her for a spin last night and she felt like normal. Also drove it to work today to give her the "real world" test. Hoping this holds together.

Look. I love it. I’m sure it will hold. But I never want to hear about any cooper fixes ever again. Lol

See the thing is, this is a temporary fix, not a long term solution, and that's what is different about Cooper fixes.

This, also coop would have been like "I need to fix this permanently, I want to weld it using this coat hanger and jumper cables as a make shift welder, what's the best way to make it work?"
