    Theres no way mine would clear with the wide belt set-up. Seems the engine bay tolerances are as good as the rear beam

    I prob have a pic, I'll see what I can find later. It was close and it was a pain to fit the belt with the engine in, But never caught.

    I have a pic of the auto tensioner you need from a non aircon, non pas corsa, Its part of the lower alternator mount, This is one of the things that is hard to find, But its on par with the trigger bottom pully you need for V belt so swings and roundabouts

    Could you not just mod the chassis leg to compensate?
    I was planning on making an alt bracket to adjust tension on the alt itself?
