    Depends if you run wide multi v belt setup or run single V, some people need the single V to clear the chassis leg.
    I personally run multi V using the standard sport (with no aircon or PAS) setup with auto tensioner.

    I think its nova tollerances tbh

    Southie (who also runs solid mounts) dont have much clearance with the single V iirc. His is mk1, OFC mine is mk2.

    Mine has plenty of space, Best thing is to suck it and see!

    Edit, If ya want il find a pic of the clearance on mine.

    I dont, Il see what pics i have of the setup, but it basically the lower alt bracket with the bolt holes for the standard vauxhall auto tensioner (could be called self tensioner), Just a bit bit of alloy.

    Edit; Bingo!
