356 Fan Pulley

Anyone know where I can get one of the coveted 356C fan pulleys?

I read George's piece on fan speeds in the knowlege section and feel that, for the money, it's a good thing to have, but neither Tweeks nor Automotion has them (at least that I could find).

Pelican? Or I could wait for the Terryville, CT VW show and see if I can find one at the flea market.

Thanks, gn

Gordon: I got mine at Klasse356.com. Not sure if it's for a "C" model though,they don't specify. I want to get a welded fan before I start messin'around with it.

Stoddards has them for like 13 dollars and they look like good quality.

I got mine from Klasse. You'll need to buy the inner and outer halves. You can reuse the hub from your VW pulley. Just be sure to get a welded/ balanced fan from somebody in the back of Hot VW. I'm in love with my set-up...

Better buy the Porsche hub too as some VW hubs are spot-welded to the front pulley half.

Thanks, George, and guess what? Mine is welded to the front pulley half! Ah well, it came with the alternator, so what did I know?

Good news is that the Terryville VW show and flea market is coming up - I may be able to get one there.........

Tweeks has them; part nos. are 409-424 (inner half) and 409-426 (outer half). They also have the pulley hub nut and the hub but I don't know if those are necessary for our application.

Thanks, Ricardo, I'll take a look.........did you get a picture of your car in front of El Morro or over at the Post office in Ponce yet?

I haven't yet Gord; I need to get the car's shipping damage fixed up first. I already have the paint & clear coat but the body man needs to set some time aside and he hasn't been able to yet. This weekend I took out the bumper brackets to get them modified (along with JJR's) to accept the sway bar. Today JJR and myself installed a Sway-a-Way bar in mine along with the Bugpack urethane bushings and clamps. We have some different ideas in how to modify the brackets; we'll post pictures when we're done.

I met with Steve O'Brien (356fan) & his family from Des Moines yesterday. They came here to take a Caribbean cruise so I picked them up at the hotel, showed them around a little bit, went to a nice local restaurant and came here so I could show them my car. Upon checking out the car and measuring the alternator pulley, Steve told me that my VS has a 356 pulley, which is smaller than a regular VW and thus makes the fan move faster. He tells me he wouldn't be surprised if Kirk also equips his engines with welded fans. Now it makes sense to me why my car's temperature is always so low. I hope he's right.

Saw one on ebay yesterday.

Greetings;
Besides needing the hub and welded & balanced fan, what belt is required? the same one for 356?
