Default Replacement Supercharger Pulley

In the last 3 weeks, I have been trying to place an order with Reichard Racing for a 3" Ultra-grip pulley to replace my 3" SOS pulley for a Novi 1200. Their VM box is full most of the time and no emails or calls are ever returned back to me. Some Googling shows that other people seem to have this issue as well. Not sure if it's government related work that they are working on or whatever, but I am seeking alternatives.

Does anyone know of any reputable companies that produce similar pulleys or can modify my existing pulley?

LOL.... Dude you will never get them on the phone and the email address that is listed on their site is very rarely checked... I drove to MD to go to the shop...and it is quite impressive. I ordered the pulley and paid for it on site...this was a couple months ago...they just sent me an email today...it will be here tomorrow. I know that they are super busy due to race season and they also do a ton of military stuff...but if you can be patient they will make the pulley and send it to you...Steve is the shop manager and this is the email you will want to use: reichardracing@yahoo.com

Hope you get one!

Are you using the email I listed...the one on the website is not used by them very much...I will forward the issue to them, I would assume there is a lot of potential business on this site for them, but as I mentioned they are already pretty busy with gov work and race season.

I too tried contacting Reichard and gave up due to their lack of response and customer support.

I just purchased a 2.8" pulley from ASP Racing. Received it 1 week after order You have the option of either steel or Aluminum pulley.

If you own a decent Dremel tool, you can make your own version of a RR pulley. I did. 2.7" no slippage.

I need to pick one of these up! Luckily with the vortech the pulleys aren't as small so shouldn't have as much of an issue with slipping.

Yeah, well I am not supposed to go below 3"...but I can live with it. I am probably going to change from the Novi 1000 to the 1500 next year.

I knew about ASP. Let me know how the pulley works out.
