@Papisadventures Жыл бұрын
If your belt isn’t the right length the tensioner won’t carry enough pressure and will hop ribs at high rpm, but another thing it will do is make an a/c pulley rattle. The tensioner has a little indicator on it and it needs to be pointing at the middle marker when spinning with no load. Most “kits” that i have used the belt has been slightly oversized. If it lines up with the first marker then you’ll need a belt 10-15mm shorter.

Can't wait to see the end result. You are doing a great thing. I think a wagon are the best of both worlds as you can get to set up a great draw system and fridge. And also no need to have any swags,tents as you can sleep inside them. Don't get me wrong the short wheel base on the 2 door has its advantages also.
