About this model

Simhopp's belt tensioner was a little short for my belt and the idler pulley was lower than the original. So I modified it. I also made it two pieces so it could be installed without taking the frame brace off. I reused the two original bolts and nuts, but you still need a bolt for tightening. Update: 10/10/16 Minor dimensional changes to make things go together easier.
