Is that a Delta-P crank pulley and hardware?

News to me and I am sure many others

"This auction is for these three critical parts only, which are the basis for ANY supercharger conversion"

This has the same shape as Tim's bracket, but there is no belt tension arm that I can see. Big difference it seems. Also, no spacers for the accessories, etc.

That sure looks like the beginnings of a F.A.S.T. kit to me...

Isn't Mark Robinson somehow affiliated with F.A.S.T ?

Why is it new to you??? The seeler is right and those 3 pieces ARE the basis to a kit. They are the hardest and most expensive to make. The SC is universal, the tensioner would be nice to have but it's not that hard to make and the rest of the plumbing can be easily fabricated.

'News' to me... and the seller and you are wrong. Those pieces aren't needed on ANY, as in every, SC kit. I have 2 different kits and that bracket would is not anything I need.

Imo,

On Jim H's setup and for all the other twin screw guys these parts are rather useless. They are rather important for us CS types though.

Definitely less support than Murph's bracket and leaves out the tensioner.

Yep, what Jim R said.

Maybe I read too much into those parts being needed for ANY SC kit.

Ahh ok, I see what U mean. The seller should have said instead of ANY, it should be for a VORTECH SC SETUP.

Even if this bracket is a little on the weak side, I'm sure it can easily be reinfoced or altered to become stronger.

The starting price is a bit pricy to me.
