Default air pump eliminator kit

Hi every one.

My air pump pulley just broke.

All the smoke pump hoses are all ready remove. so the pump is not really doing nothing. I had it just for the pulley.

I need to buy a eliminator kit. the best one I found is new for $150.

I all ready check the used part section of the forum. I see no pump kit there.

I need to get one eliminator kit for a good price. can I get some links from members.

I all ready try ebay. and nothing. or maybe Iam not doing the right search

apresiate all your help

Unless you are racing the car and need to save weight, just leave the pump there as an idler pulley and disconnect/plug the hoses.

Carreful. The stock belt will be a bit loose with the TPIS. Too much in fact. I am using it, it s a good quality piece but had to work around to retain stock belt with a good tension.

That link is to TPS Specialties and I think they are a CF supporting vendor.

But if you look at the "Ships To:" line, it says United States. It may be they will not ship outside the US. You may want to email them or call to see if they will ship to Panama.

Given you r location, you may have problems getting a kit shipped to you. But try Mid-America or Eckler's for one. Expect to pay extra for international orders and customs duty.

That must help a bunch!!

When I click on the existing link, the ad is still there but the eliminator kit is available from TPIS. They list it on their store but at the full $149.95 price and $8 shipping.

There has been many a home brewed version with info on making one, over the years.(search engine)
If your handy or no someone who is, you could make your own.
Here is a link to one I made, not for everyone, but it works for me and uses the stock belt.
