Default How to make sdce tensioner

I found the part. But it looks like the spring needs to be flipped around how do you go about doing that. Its the part number I found listed on here from auto zone.

I thought that SDCE modifies your stock J bracket ?

Also, take into consideration that the SDCE crank pulley is their own design and dimension. I am pretty sure that the Procharger 8 rib pulley is a larger diameter (wgich is what I have).

I'm very surprised at the lack of attention in this thread. Seems like a great DIY project for someone with the time to research it firsthand.
