It's a Southwest part...called a Swamp Cooler Blower Pulley. It's a 12" diameter, 1/2" V belt pulley, which happens to have nice flat spokes that are perfect for cutting off and bolting to a piece of plywood. The magic trick is using 3/8" belt on it, so there's an indent for the support bearings to ride in. (also we are going to put normal kit wheel bearings on it to replace the previous year KOP slide bearings)

Just curious, why did you choose the one sided shooter like that? We had been looking at two smaller rollers on either the sides or the top and bottom but this looks simpler. What made you go with form of shooter?

We tried it and it worked.
