rollbar, just loked at your pics again (cause I think it's a cool green :wink: ) but I just noticed your alternator belt doesn't loop the crank pully. Any reason???
Just keeping it shorter. U think it would be better to run it by the crank & if so, why. If I do run it there I would need a idler pully, correct.
P.S. I have the other bracket for the front of the PS unit.
Well, being shorter you wouldn't get the whipping motion I see in mine, but your making the water pump into a driver instead of an idler. Just hadn't seen it like that before. And if you lose the PS belt, you've also lost the water pump and the alternator, instead of just the PS - no redundancy. To replace it (trail spare?) you have to pull the PS belt off anyway, so I guess it's 50/50. Don't think it would hurt anything if you can pull off the trail and fix it before the battery died.
An Idler would be a nice touch to keep the belt from vibrating so much :t: That's why I'm hoping for an afordable serpentine setup :wink: With the idler holding tension, swapping them out would be pretty nice and only need to carry 1 belt as a spare :?
Well I C your point, maybe I should change it and add a idler pully where the old bracket is just under it. I would really like to move the PS unit down into the hole so it's not 10 miles up in the air. I might get it going and then check into it but then again, it's easier to do it now B-4 the front end is on.
It would be easier to access, that's for sure. Maybe MC can make up a lower mount, I'd like to get mine outta the way of the dizzy as well. And I still think it looks cool in OD :t:
How the rest of the conversion coming?
Click on my link in my sig line. The underside of the tub is done and after I get the tranny lines in I will install the tub then paint it and rock-n-roll.
If MC could make one it would be great and to be ABLE to have ROOM to get to the fuel pump.
Maybe I can be a proto type :)
I still have to buy the oil block off plate from him when I get a chance.
How can I view, cast timming cam gear, old style roll master cam gear and new style roll master with bearing cam gear. Also any other pictures that will help me with my repair.
Thank you very much for your help.
