I was just pointing out that, based on that photo, it appears that the new style Maggie tensioner won't line up with an 8 rib pulley setup. Otherwise the belt would have been against the back rim of the pulley and the 2 unused ribs would be at the front.

 

hmm, that is strange huh? well wtf chuck, lol.

 

The extra grooves are always toward the radiator due to brackets.

 

The belt will actually line up with the inner 6 grooves the picture was just taken with the belt on the pulley like that on accident.

 

I was hoping that was the case.

That pic just popped up in my head when this discussion started. Never even thought about the belt alignment when I first saw it.

 

Glad I came across this...just picked mine up from a M112->122HH upgrade--also bought the new tensioner--and the belt is currently centered in the tensioner ribs. I'll realign that tomorrow...

 

is that tensioner a factory replacement or is it ONLY for the radix?
