This additional idler pulley helps keep belts from being slung off and destroyed on supercharged Marauders. I had this on my ProCharger setup for a couple of years. It will fit with either the new timing cover or the old '96-'99 Cobra (or '93-up MkVIII) cover. It will also work on the Mach1, '96-'01 Cobra and MkVIII but other components must be relocated. If you watch a supercharged Marauder on the dyno, you see the long section of belt from the alternator to power steering pulley bounces a lot when you let off the throttle, which translates to the tensioner bouncing all over the place. This extra pulley dramatically decreases the unnecessary motion. The pulley and spacing for the bracket makes it compatible with 6-rib or 8-rib setups. There are 2 different brackets for mounting the pulley, so you can adjust the amount of flex on the belt by moving the idler pulley. Made of aluminum plates, powdercoated black. $100
