Default am I missing something? Vortech question

FI noobie here...i picked up a used partial vortech kit locally. I've had it sitting in the basement last 6 months. Just going over the parts now to complete the kit. Looking at the blower itself, i feel as though i'm missing something(i know its missing the cog pulley) but does the pulley sit on the shaft itself or should there be something else on this shaft? Thanks

From what I can see in this picture, it looks like thats an unused flange, probably for another application or capping off a bearing seal. It looks like there is just a pulley on the shaft in it.

Again this is a opinion from an image, hopefully someone else will chime in with a solid answer.

yeah, I've been looking up pics of them and it looks as though there's something else there to most likely "hold the cog pulley" in place? Hopefully someone with a kit installed can come through for me. mine is a V2 blower(if it makes a difference)

It's a keyway...it goes in that slot and keeps the pulley from slipping on the supercharger shaft...you can buy one from vortech...

if you have an old school hardware store in your area, you can probably find a suitable pin there. home depot, lowes, etc. don't have them, but the older stores with those millions of nuts/bolts/springs/washer boxes often have a few of those pins.

ok, so maybe i missed something here. So, there's TWO pieces that I am in need of? This "keyway/pin" that i need fills that slot on the top of the shaft, but I also need a specific bolt that goes into the end of the input shaft, correct?

Yes, a bolt & washer secure the pulley to the blower.
