Bohnalite
I've heard of Bohnalite and recently picked up an aluminum Bohnalite roots type supercharger at a swap meet. I'm wondering if anyone knows anywhere where i can pick up a rebuild kit for this blower, as it is lacking the drive spindle and back plate. Thus far I haven't found anything useful on this blower, as it would appear the company dropped off the map. Any info would be appreciated.

Bohnalite Blower
Hi guys. I´m from Brazil and a acidentily dicovery a 8V71 blower. It is a Bohnalite blower use in Detroit Diesel. I look for information and found some intresting stuff. Some of the parts the tradicional GMC 671 fix to this model, the braring plates and the end plates of my Bohnalite 8V71 blower are from a 671 GMC blower. The manifolds is the biggest problem until now form me.
http://www.fordflathead.com/blowersize.html - This site shows a lot of blower stuff, there has something about the Bohnalite V Series.
I´ll continue searching for information, any thing please contact by e-mail.
Good Luck to all

Re: bohnalite supercharger
Hey guys. I have a Bohnalite blower as well, traded it for a Pugeot moped, which I got for free, so I guess in the end, Im odd man out in the price range for total output cost. Anyway, after that little brag, I just want to say for now that, when I showed it to the 70 year old rodder a few blocks over, he got tears in his eyes. Suffice it to say, that my idea of putting it on a destroked '53 Buick straight 8 has been kaboshed, & he is donating a 51 Desoto Hemi to put it on. I know, I know: life is rough right? So does anyone have pictures of their blowers they might want to post? As soon as I figure out how, I will post pictures before, during & after any mods we make. I'm missing a plate for one end, but, he says we can cast another one out of aluminum next spring. That & a snout...? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanx guys.
Thanx guys.

The 6-71 ''Bohnalite' blower is nothing special. It's the same as *any other* GM or Detroit Diesel 6-71 blower . Bohnalite is or was an aluminum casting company based in Detroit who supplied prototype and also regular production aluminum castings to the auto industry. At various times General Motors and Detroit Diesel had Bohnalite cast some of their blower cases and other parts for them. The Bohnalite-made 6-71 case is identical to any other GM or D.D. 6-71 blower case and any parts made for a regular 6-71 blower will work with it.

Re: bohnalite supercharger
Well THAT just took all the wind out of my sails. What the hell though. Im still going to have what I need custom cast JUST because I can. On the other hand, I am a CNC progammer, so, perhaps some billet pieces are in order....
P.S. Thanx for the info.
