Default Re: Do it yourself DIY Belt Wrap Kit for less than $25

I took a look at your fotos, steve, and it is close. I need to look at mine but I recall thinking the same thing when I installed mine. I will post a pic of what my setup looks like, to compare. If you are thinking you will get belt to belt contact because of belt flex, don't worry. Our belt is stout enough to prevent lashing or flexing much more than a couple thousandths. Your tensioner will keep everything in place, especially if it is past the halfway point. A 3/4 wrap is about right for this setup as the belt starts its contact at about 6 and wraps to about 9:00. Even with this amount of wrap I still get some slippage from time to time, as I can still see black belt powder deposits. I do tend to "romp" on it while cruising around in traffic, grabbing attention that this torque monster deserves.

Somebody please post how well this works using the various pulley setups.
Like I said on my setup it's perfect.
It works great for my C3 setup, but I will be installing a bracket to back-up the tension to the new pulley.
