Hi, Newbee here. i just acquired a 57 Savoy 230 3 on the tree 2 door sedan a few months ago I have put about 500 miles on it. Recently it sounded like the fan belt was slipping under acceleration. I tighten it up a little and put another 100 miles on it, still seemed it was slipping. Turns out the lower fan pulley had separated (see attached pic) and i'm unable to find a replacement part so far. What are the possible solutions?

All help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Thank you for the quick reply's 58coupe and ronbo97.

I will check out to see if i can find a used one. If not, I'll give the damperdudes or damperdoctor a call. I wasn't sure if my flathead 6 was specially built and had crazy torque, enough to tear the vibration dampener apart. Or maybe it's because the dampener is 60+ years young. (Haha)

A used one is likely to suffer the same catastrophic failure that yours did. They've also been known to slip, throwing off timing. Is that what you want ?

I called Damper Doctor and they seem to have a reasonable price to rebuild so I will be shipping it out soon
