Would one of these cuties fit a 36hp VW engine without need to install sand seal / and or split the case? |

Yes, the "OT" Pulley from the Two Piece Case Porsche will fit Your 36hp Engine.
The Pulley pictured is made in Czech Republic.....I have never had any experience with his work. 320 Euros; very Expensive.
Good Luck,

Roy used to make a billet OT pulley here in the USA but their was little interest... I think they were around $100-$150 depending if you wanted a sandblasted finish like shown or fully polished ect...
we use to stock them, if there is new people interested I could inquire about making another run of them.... stock slinger and sand seal if necessary...

Yeah, me too, bolt on, with oil slinger, and the correct size to keep the same pulley ratios/cooling.

It seems obvious that from the reactions here there is a demand for a bolt on replacement with the stock oil sling. Especially for the price indicated by Anthony. I can count 5 or 6 here already (I will take 3 ).
What would be the lead time to get such item reproduced (again)? |

Hello guys Maybe this is a stuped question but I bought a big nut and pulley setup for the generator for my 36 hp. The guy I bought it from said the crank pulley was needed because of the offset does this matter with the ot pulley? |

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between an original and a repro? I searched around and don't think I've been able to find a good picture of an original. Basically I'm thinking that the repro's have really boxy letters for "OT". Also, sometimes there is no "seam" or mark at the top of the pulley.
like these:
(no mark)
(has mark)
These are repro's, but really nice ones, they seem to have the correct look as an original (I'm assuming):
Can anyone familiar with the originals give us a lesson on the small differences between the originals and reproductions? I know the nice repros are really expensive, but they look A LOT better then some of the lower end repros I've come across. Just want to make sure my assumptions are correct before commiting to buy anything.

There needs to be a notch on the inside for the woodruff key right? _________________ DBK Nor Cal

An original Pre-A "OT" pulley is made of ductile iron.
All the reproductions seem to be made of aluminum.
