Mad Max 1 repro blower front plate/swing arm rereleased

[timdp]

The reproduction piece is back!

"Weiand introduced the original "swingarm" style blower drives way back in the early 1960's and they rapidly became standard equipment for front engine dragsters, gassers and altereds. The drive was also featured in the 1970's cult classic "Mad Max" movie on Mel Gibson's Interceptor Coupe. Discontinued for years, this unit has become highly desirable and could only be found occasionally by scouring swap meets and e-Bay. Due to popular demand, Weiand has brought back the classic "swingarm" front drive and matching correct pulleys to make building that nostalgia racer or Mad Max replica easier than ever. Drive kits are currently available in unpolished / as cast for installation on any 6-71 supercharger case assembly.
Features:
Kit includes cover, idler arm, idler pulley and fasteners

Absolutely true! Although they came out like 6 or 7 years ago. You can also get the EFI Scott Superslot unit from them.
However, I believe it is Mad Max Cars who makes all of that for Holley.
The ones from Holley are of course built with the standard bearings used in a functional blower. If you want them with sealed bearings appropriate for the Prop On/Off application.... You will want to get them from the source:

Cool.

Even if you couldn't afford to build your own Interceptor,
you could just put that in the living room on top of the TV.

It would look awesome.
