Stripping down to repair an old compressor, i found this keyway in the pulley.
It is wider than the key would be to fit in the shaft and quite a large radius for what I do not know.
The corresponding keyway in the shaft is like a standard woodruff key.
The pully is 10"dia and has been tapped and fitted with a grubscrew. (just visible in pic 1 at about 1o'clock) The bore is tapered to match the shaft taper and is also retained by a bolt and large washer threaded into the end of the shaft.
I have never (I think) seen a key that would be of the design required to fit these 2 parts together.
Suggestions?
Cheers Phil
