Wasserboxer crank pulley to type 1 engine?

[Danpa]

Anyone know if a wasserboxer crank pulley will fit on a type 1 engine? Is the crank snout the same diameter? I need a 2 belt pulley for my 1904.

Thanks,
Dan

I had one of Laurie Pettit's wasser crank type-1 engines and a type-1 pulley did fit it fine so I'm sure a wasser pulley would fit a T1 crank just the same.

Thanks! I was going to try to mount a standard size aluminum pulley and a power pulley together, but if I could just buy a wbx setup, that would be a lot easier.

Okay, thanks. Just from looking at stuff online, it looks like the wbx is based on a type 1, but I've never seen one " in person".
I might just end up fabbing a double pulley anyway because even if it did fit the crank, there's other features that might not be compatible.

I was just hoping the response would be "sure, bolts right up, like it was made for it!"

The snout on the Type 1 and WBX cranks are the same, so either pulley will fit either crank.

However, the WBX pulley uses a seal, and the diameter (~1.889", IIRC) is larger than the typical diameter of a sand-seal Type 1 pulley.

I don't know if the WBX seal would fit a Type 1 case (it would seem to me that if it did, the industry wouldn't have resorted to using the smaller ID seal). OTOH, you could have the WBX pulley turned down to the smaller diameter to fit the Type 1 sand-seal commonly used.

Also, I don't know how the offset or diameter of the WBX pulley compares to the Type 1 pulley, if you're using the Type 1 alternator/air-cooling.
