Thanks!
Gotta pick-up a longer bolt tomorrow to mount tensioner to bracket.
Friend that made the bracket went ahead and put several indexing pin holes around the mounting pad of the bracket to increase it's adjustability.
Will post a pic tomorrow.

I made it by the shop tonight before they left and took a look at it. It definitely needs to be clocked @ +/-1:00 w/o belt which should place it it @ +/- 3:00 w/ belt.
Index pin hole @ 6:00 should do this. The reason it was @ 11:00 in the photo was to allow them to use the laser alignment tool and be able to hit the idler and crank pulleys with it.

That's about the same index pin hole location you guys ended up with as well, correct?

yeah mine sits at about 2:30 or so with the belt on. i put the pin hole in a place so that if it were up against the stop the belt would be close to the point of rubbing on the hub of the tensioner. if you have it too verticle with no belt when the belt stretches it will rub
