Amongst my 'odds & ends' I have an Arnott supercharger. Thought I might fit it onto the 36hp engine for my '56 Cabriolet - which is almost ready for painting.
Arnott blowers (they were similar to a Judson) were sometimes fitted to early Beetlles, and although I don't like vane blowers, it would be appropriate.
Does anyone out there have any info. on the Arnott, paticularly VW mounting details etc? Photos would be a big help also.
Cheers, Greg

Looks like Arnott was a British company, with their blowers made from around 1955 for installs on MGs and so on.
You can always rely on Phil for the answer. He is the Bill Collins of the VW knowledge tree :-)

Thanks Phil, it's not a great photo, but it does show where the blower is mounted - that is probably all I need. My blower is the same as the one shown, complete with the Arnott carby.
Cheers, Greg

Hi
It looks like it has pop off valve over the manifold mounting, looks like a well thought out setup.

Thats iteresting.
When I got my car, it had a couple of bolts afixed to the decking (body) on the left hand side of the main pully. The owner said it used to be part of a blower.
The blower was sold some yeasrs ago, but I was wondering what it was?
