CJ18 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I know this is a build to order item and should have taken longer to get out, but I really appreciate you guys getting it knocked out for me so I can get it installed before I move next week!

CJ18 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well it tried its hardest to not fit right. The spacer on the idlers was hitting the case of the alt. nothing a grinder can't fix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 The bracket itself and the spacers hit the case of the alternator when I was installing it. I had to grind it down in a few places to make it fit correctly. I have a singer 220 on the truck now, but also tried the mechman 340 that I have here as well and it hit the case on both units. If I were running a single alt, the dual idlers would have been perfect, but since I am running a dual, I was only able to use the idler on the driver side. I had to utilize one of the idler locations on my dual bracket to get the best belt wrap. The issue was that with the passenger side idler installed, the belt would rub where it goes up to the dual and then back down around the tensioner. I am by no means bashing or complaining at all, I love the concept, it just took a little bit of extra work to make it work perfectly in my application.
