CB Pulley Riddle

[Clatter]

Went and bought this really cool looking black billet pulley from CB..

And the stock shims don't fit..

It's got this big square boss inside.
Are you supposed to buy special shims,
Or file the holes bigger and square,
Or what?


Anybody know how you're supposed to keep a belt tight with one of these things?

Special shims

They are supposed to come with the pulley? At least when you look on the CB website that's what it shows and says. Did you buy it second hand or accidentally throw out the shims?

CB's website says they currently include 8 shims, maybe they did not always.

Anyway, you can get them here:

It appears that the same billet pulley is being sold by multiple companies and they all require special shims, possibly special pulley nut as well.

Wonder if i lost them or they didn't come or i didn't see them in the packaging and threw them away..
I woulda seen them in the packaging i bet, I'm pretty careful with stuff like that.

Always makes me feel like a dope reaching out to a company for something so small and stupid.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

I have the same pulley and the shims were included. I bought mine about a year and a half ago.
