No actual 'development' as such but I have been trying to sort a few things out in the background, namely how I am going to drive the supercharger.
I am still working on the double pulley idea... and have removed the pulley from my old A/C compressor to use as a test piece/experiment. I have chosen this as it was only going to end up at the rubbish tip and will save me spending £50+ on something just to chop it up and experiment with. It is also larger than the crank pulley by 20mm.
I have given it to someone who works in metal fabrication who is going to remove the middle and machine down the side, leaving just the pulley/grooved part. He will then make a new centre so I can attach it to the existing crank pulley on the engine.

I don't exactly know how this is going to work out (if at all)... it's just an experiment at the moment.
When the pulley 'situation' is sorted I will move on to making a template for the mounting bracket for the charger.
