OK, here's my high-tech engineer's drawing:

I'm assuming that PTK went with a tensioner that is now pushing in the correct direction, instead of pinching the belt up against itself.
This is what mine looks like with the Smokinhawk bracket and a Katech tensioner:

The belt is Gatorback # 4060798, the six-rib 79.8". Hope that's close enough for yours.

Brings up an interesting point: how necessary is it to use the idler?
After installing the Turn One PS pump, my 6 rib decided to walk a little bit and cut itself into a 5 rib. Seems OK now, but I wonder if I could just go with a shorter 6 rib belt and skip the idler to have a happy beltline.
