I have uploaded a few more pics into a new album on the photo site for those that were interested in the tensioner mod I did on the alternator bracket. It should be pretty straight forward for anyone who knows how to drill a hole in something. Rolling Eyes Just make sure you drill the hole for the thrust base as close as possible to the bottom of the adjusting slot. If you drill it too low you will run into the lockdown bolt hitting the engine bracket and limiting the "pivoting" movement of the adjuster. You may also need to shim the thrust base out with a washer or two in order to make sure the adjuster bolt lines up in the divot of the base properly. Good luck and happy one handed belt adjusting! Surprised
