Default 8 rib ATI question

if any one out there is running an ATI 8 rib setup , how wide was your tensioner pulley?? was it wider than the 8 rib belt?
did the pulley come with or without the axle thingy that goes through the pulley?? ( the peice of metal that the tensioning bolt pushes on and has a bolt on the other side to lock it to the bracket)

thanks

Why don't you find one of Clay Loving's posts and email him. I think he was/is on an 8-rib setup. He may be going to a cog.

Ati's 12rib idler is the same idler they use for a 8rib application. I machined the idler now my 8 rib works great.

I machined both ends. Can't tell you how much because I didn't measure it. I just took enough off so it would fit.
