Hi all, Would you be interested on a direct buy for $118.00. (shipping included)
I have two more but they are commited to club members.
I can have another kit ready by next weekend and send you a paypal invoice at that time.
Let me know if that is of interest.
Thanks
DR

It's a normal Gates tensioner (about $40) - a normal belt (about $15) - and about $2 of 5/16" plate. ummmmm... The concept is great though! |

YThe kits are are for a different purpose, this is a tensioner, the Dickman's a Power Pulley. The feature I want to gain from this is ease of adjustment/replacement not a power gain. ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

Rodney's pulley kit does not work as a tensioner though, it just adds an extra pulley to give you extra wrap. The idea of a tensioner pulley is so that you don't have to worry about going in and re-tightening your alternator belt "EVER" you simply install and you are done. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

YES...that's why I want one...here's his reply today: Just FYI I ran some #'s and looks like USPS 6-10 day is $21.20. About double the US postage. If you decide you might be interested I'm willing to do it for $120.00 USD (including postage) for the complete kit.
Just a bracket if you want to get your own belt and tensioner would be $65 shipped.
Meanwhile I'll check out the other shippers and see if there is any difference.
So other than Groken...anyone else interedted? ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

| Hmmm, my belt likes to make noise on cold starts... when I get my car back I'm going to try to get that adjusted out, but if I can't then I'll probably want one. |

| Oooh, I need maybe a day or two more. I just got my car back from ICBC on Friday. I'm hoping to check out the belt issues tomorrow, but I'm not sure exactly when it'll happen. I'll try to post back tomorrow night. |
