Hey Zack! good to see you back.
Terry
I have a set done for my car but because of there being so many legs or stand offs and the adding of two idlers the welding has become a real problem, there just isn't enough room to get a tig in there and it is hotter than hell, has to be preheated to 450 degrees. So I came up with another method of boring the holes all the way through to a press fit and taper the end of the standoff and taper the hole on the front side weld and machine down. Welding is much better but a lot more machining. The bracket will be much stronger and look much cleaner.
The question I have for you guys is: On my bracket I set the drivers side idler in 1/2" just to stop the belt harmonics because I am not going to run high boost and HP. I can move the idler in any amount to get more belt wrap.
Any thoughts?
The adapters and crossover worked out well, I have a set made as a test had a bad piece of Alum. tube that had a coating on it so the weld didn't turn out but it is good enough for some initial pic's just have to get them taken and posted.

The ones in the pic are 90mm.
10mm is a little under 1/2" so I would think it would move the belt over at best 3/16".
When making the bracket it is easy to position the idler over another 1/2" or what ever you would like.
Could do that, the question then becomes what size to start with and how much to push the belt in to start with. I would like to have a place to start with for the high HP high boost guys who have a concern about belt slip. Where I have mine set will be good for 400 to 500 6 to 8 lb boost guys.
I'll have the first done in about a week I just got the material and will cut it out tomorrow. Been fitting the legs using scrap to get the fitting right now we will see how it works putting it all togather.
Sorry, I won't know the price until we get the first one done.
In the world of Modding the hardest question to answer is "is it done?"
