Default PTK Belt routing

Did you guys keep the solid pully that was above the alternator or did you remove it?

I run a different tensioner pulley and a different alternator and alternator pulley. It came with my PTK kit. I have the smokinhawk bracket, but when the other setup was finally adjusted to where it didn't throw or eat belts, I didn't even dare touch it. I need to get another OE alternator to use the new(er) bracket with anyway.

Come on bro quit guessing. Measure it with a measuring tape people use for clothing or anything your can that flexable. Even a piece of string. Wrap it the way you would run the belt and get one that's like half an inch smaller than you messured if your using the stock tensioner. That's what i did.

I did use a string but it came up with 79inch. So i bought a 79inch, but i guess it needs a bit more space to go around the pulleys.

79.8 will not slide on, still a little bit too short.

The next belt size i found is 80.2 but that is going to be too big =(.

Just found out that the Gatorback is 79.875 while the regular duralast is 79.8

Going to buy the Gatorback and it should be just perfect.

Looks solid.

If you have any problems with that bracket, get the one from Speed Inc. Its a solid piece.

Also I noticed that you are missing the pulley that is on the alternator bracket. You need to put it on there, so it routes the belt over the pipes =).

Yea thats what everyone is saying. I keep asking but no one has answered. Do you have to trim it because I placed it on there and it was right on the tubing.

No you dont.

I didnt trim mine. I am actually going to make a little bracket that is going to bolt into that, and the T4 flange. I want to take some weight off the header.
