A flash from Apten's past...

[n0xlf]

Maybe they still have these, but it was one of the reasons that I never took off my pulley cover until now (kind of ugly - but I'll be selling it soon if anyone wants it!), in preparation for my Billetflow setup...I haven't seen a lot of these, so I thought I'd share...This is back when Stiegemeier was doing the ports behind the scenes for Apten...

And while I was at it, I "updated" my own port job with a nice Stiegemeier plate...

Who manufacturered them?

 

[n0xlf]

No idea...It's a 2.80, non-slip, and on a hub...Apten put it on for me when I had the port done...

 

[CobraBob]

Hmmm. I can't remember ever seeing a design like that.

Looks like Metco to me.

woooooooo, getting all nostalgic here. A piece or terminator history.

Similar, but Metco's have a flat surface (front) and this one doesn't.

The pulley's they used when we did their porting were metco.

 

[CobraBob]

Thanks for the info Bob. Should have asked you to begin with. LOL!

My Metco looks just like that one. :rolling:

I got the same one too. Never had a problem with it. Does this mean I'm a veteran?

Must have been before my time

Yep I remember Apten running those pullies back in the old days. That was back when I was checking VOPC 212 times a day to see if my car was being built yet.

That was just a joke - It's a steg port, I just "updated it myself" with fancy steg plate...Those plates weren't around when I got it ported - Although my port isn't as old as the oldest ones...It's one of the oval looking ones...Probably similar to what would be called a Stage 2 now...

A veteran? Maybe. A pioneer? Most definitely! :lol1:
