Copied from page 214 where youll see pictures as unfortunately i couldnt copy. Pics show my proto cf plate with bits and pieces but have now refined it and just done a manual as well. Hope it help you make your mind up.

As promised here is my first tensioner design for the standard gearbox. Im going to get a plate made from fibrelyte and that should make life a bit easier but may need to cut a fraction more away from the gearbox for it to work correctly. Still its a start and feels set correctly.

Also ive moved it from my preferred position which I use on my prototype CF gearbox as of I used a similar position you cant use the full range of pinions as the tensioner gets in the way. This was it avoids the motor and tensions the belt correctly.

As always opinions are always welcome.
