David,

If you don't mind I'd like five of those cast in 8" x 22" for my van Drool

, you wanna be careful or you'll be taking work off of Chip Foose's wheel design company 6799

But seriously thats a nice simple design, I really like the aesthetic,
It's kind of a modern take on an older part,

I like it

I'm looking forward to seeing that cast. Nice work Dave.

I'm wondering if there is enough iron in the pot for the pulley? Sweat

RE: flat belt pulley pattern - Rickabilly - 08-31-2013

I would've guessed that it'd be an Ally pour.

Goaly I got a bigger pot

Rick your right even if I was going to do it in Cast Iron I'd do it in Aluminum first to check gating and such.

Thanks for the compliments guy's I've burned up a lot of what few smart cell's I have left on this one. almost put the gussets in it yesterday before I realized that I needed to cut the draft on the inside first. Started putting in wax fillet last night, wish what I have was bigger hopefully it'll work. I have to I can go back and put in more sort of like a 3 pass weld fillet, but I think this will work.

Oh Rick if you want 22's you make the pattern, and Goaly can pour em he's got more sand then I do. course if it wasn't so damn far I'd come help.

RE: flat belt pulley pattern - oldgoaly - 09-01-2013

22's we would need at least one more 12# pouring ladle maybe 2? my pot can hold a couple of 15" easy, but still have to cut them to get them into the pot.

RE: flat belt pulley pattern - Rickabilly - 09-01-2013

Nah, 22"s are for rappers anyway, and I've always been a Rockabilly (Rockabilly-Rickabilly, I'm sure most of you picked up on that a while back)

I was just saying that the proportions looked good enough for a commercial wheel design

Regards
Rick

So you all don't think I been laying about watching Nascar, heres a couple photos to sorta explain what I been doing all day besides casting a part for a guy.

I got all the gussets in the (to me) outside of the pulley the side thats going to be facing out. I also think I did a hell of a better job on these then I did on the ones yesterday.

I also started putting in the wax fillets have most of it done on this side and only about half to do on the other side. couple photos of that

Looking good David. How much draft do you have on those spokes?

Does that "fillet wax" take paint ? usually paint goes all "Fish eyes" when you try and put it over even the slightest bit of wax.
