With the belt on, my tensioner sits ~2:00. The pin locator hole in the bracket is ~5:30. However, my setup has an idler at ~1:00 very close to the tensioner. I believe the Procharger keeps the stock belt routing in this area going from the crank>tensioner>idler under alt, so your final positioning may be indexed differently depending on belt length. You want the tensioner to be in the top half of the tension range with the belt on.
There is some good discussion on tensioner force representation in schino's tensioner thread... https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...sioner-486308/

If anyone is interested in one of these brackets, just let me know.
I'll talk to the guy that made it for me about possibly offering them here in the member made section as suggested.

Ill probably need one once I get the Procharger.

Some of you may not have noticed, but the tensioner mounted in the pic is not the Gates 38518 from the original post. It's a Dayco 89415. We were able to find it a little bit cheaper than the Gates.

It's installed, but... How is it working out?

Should have the new tensioner bracket tomorrow...the fully CNC'd one.
Anyone ever experience or heard of someone having an alternator bracket breaking a mounting ear?
I assume it happened when we threw the belt on the dyno a few weeks ago.
Having to fix that today.

One delay after another has postponed results, but...
belt and tensioner are now on and tensioner should now be indexed where it needs to be...pulley sits at 75%+ of full travel w/ belt on...w/ about 2" of available travel, stretchwise...using K061099...full belt routing laser aligned.
Now that the LSXRT is installed, we're finishing up the fuel supply, fpr and return lines this week as well as steam vent lines and we should be able to fire her up and see how well she does
