As many of us know, it is almost impossible to get new Reichard pulleys. A friend (GMG VENOMOUS 04) and I searched forever to find the sizes we needed. After awhile, we just decided to have a local machine shop make us what we needed.
This got us thinking, could we help out the community? Is there any interest in having a bunch made for fellow svt members? We would like to get enough made so the pricing would be comparable to a RR pulley. Obviously we paid much more just for these 2. Please chime in with your opinions. Here is a few pics of what we had done.

Those look great. I'd be interested if the price is right. Some custom engraving on the pulley would be nice too

I would be very interested in a 3.5-3.3 or maybe a 3.0 for a 3.4 Whipple

Thanks for the feedback so far guys. I don't think sizing will be too much of an issue. Initially we are thinking about the options of 2.8, 3.0, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.5. We would like to be able to get the pricing in the $160-175 range. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to do that, but that we don't yet.

The custom engraving option is fantastic. I'd be in for a 3.0 for my 2.9 whipple.
