I saw that too. There was one on ebay. I couldn't work out why someone was selling that on and not keeping it....? Be interested to know how much shorter the belt is from standard with this and whether it's worth the money? Some pictures fitted would be good it anyone has some?

Do these fit on all the various V8 fitted to the chimaera?

Cheers

They are designed for the serpentine motors, does away with the big mount that also accommodates the air con pump

1340mm rings a bell when I fitted mine, its very short but I don't have P/S or A/C

Kinda gives you an idea

Thanks for that but it doesn't help me I'm afraid. I have my supercharger which means my belt isn't standard length. If I knew how much shorter from standard it is then I could subtract that from the belt length I currently use to see if there is one to suit.

It will bolt to the head if that's what you mean, all ancillaries will need to be checked

[Mr Plow]

Sorry for the double post,I blame my phone

Ok - so are there different alternators etc that could cause issues fitting?

I think I snagged that one on eBay - it's in the "todo" box...

Found the old thread from back in the day when I fitted mine. It has plenty of pictures

Just occurred to me after re-reading all that lot, I've never once had to re-tension the belt. And still not devised a prettier banana bracket either...

[Bassfiend229hp]

Did anyone devise a tension adjuster using a couple of threaded rod ends?

Agreed and here is the correct way for the tensioner bracket the lower fixing as a thick washer/shim to align the bracket too I was also guilty of fitting it upside down initially

I still like it the other way up!
