not a lot has happened with the car lately, the new pulley has arrived from the states so ive got that on the car along with another belt.

I had the exhaust off to rewrap it as it would be on the rollers and dispite it having a fuel tank shield I didn't want to risk it.

Yesterday I went to cheddar gorge with the 205 gang for a mini meet and a drive around the lanes. It was a good day but I was struggling with belt slip through out the day due to the smaller pulley.

After trawling through the yank forums about pulley slip and it was apparent that they use extra idlers to give more belt coverage around the s/c pulley. So I decided to make a extra idler up, I used the old tensioner pulley from my m45 setup this is what I came up with.

After a quick test drive it appeared it has worked well and with less belt tension.
