Thanks mate noted. I did get the set up on today but had trouble with the belt sizes. Tried a 875mm and was too small ended up with a 880mm which is tight. Trying to find a 888mm which is proving hard in Australia. |
How many shims between the pulley halves? Might see if just one more will work and still have the belt ride on its tapered sides properly. Also it will stretch and wear soon to slightly bigger. |
Think there's 8 or 9 will have to go check, but I think its ok for tension. Will run it and see if it helps with the cooling problem next hot day.

As long as the tension is OK, then that is great. Too much and you can damage the gen/alt bearings.

I do have a 888mm belt coming in the post too so it might be a better one in the long run. With our summer coming I need to get this over heating problem sorted.
