'sale' on smaller supercharger pulleys, etc.

Some of you may have seen it, but others may not.l A fellow in Houston who has developed several upgrade items for the Benz superchargers (smaller diameter pulleys - either clutched or fixed, a belt wrap to give significantly more contact between belt and pulley, etc.) has an interesting sale on the BenzWorld Forum web site. Each of these I noted is normally $5-600 at various places, but his 'end of year' sale is by 'reasonable offer'. You make a reasonable offer and he either accepts or counter offers.

I recently made what I thought was a quite low but hopefully reasonable offer for the two noted products and thought it would probably not be acceptable. But it was, and the shipment is on its way here. A dozen or so owners active on that site have previously had offers accepted and received their items.

I have no connection with this person/business, but feel it is a $$ saving opportunity for any of us who want to upgrade the performance of our cars. You can go to the BenzWorld.org web site and do a search on the Forums section for: Shardul sale The string with his products and comments by members there will come up as the first post.

Thought someone might like to know.
