This is the second time I have heard of an issue with the Thump pulleys.
Personally, I'd stay away from them. Crappy "quality". lol

It is 3 years old i drive my car only in good waether, and in Germany that is not often and I mostly cruise with it, beacuse the power scares the sh.... out of me.

VMP is 1 year. You won't break it. I broke a Thump as well. Guess what's on Christine now.

I use the one from Steeda. Haven't had an issue yet and I've had it on there for 8 years. It bolts right up. Just have to flip the pulley to bolt it on an 04 Cobra. It is the heavy duty one for an 05-10 GT. Should work
Great for a GT500. This thing is stiff. Serious spring in it.

That sucks Kempf. I will be back in Germany sometime early 2018. If you need some help dealing with American companies or shipping, let me know and I will help you out. I have access to an American Post Office, so Zoll and other importation/exportation issues can be worked around. Mein Deutch ist nicht sehr gute, aber mein frau ist Deutch.

I've been trying to learn German. Let me see if I can translate.

"My German is not so good, but my woman is German." Yes?

Yeah. For the cost of repair and shipping, you might as well just buy a new one from somebody else.
