Here is how I did my alternator belt, might help others.
Not sure if it will work, only one way to find out when engine goes in. lol
I used a 1.2 8V alternator elongated bracket thing then flattened it down a bit in the vice till I was happy with it, then tension it with a bar and tighten up.
Had to trim it a bit at the top because it was catching on the throttle body.

I ended up getting the tensioner and bracket from my local Vauxhall breakers (RIBooth) for £10 they're the same off Zaria X18XEL and astra mk4 1.4 1.6 too.
Came across a problem today while trying to fit the transducer in the box.
It sticks out quite a bit:

Side by side with the standard VSS:

So apart from getting another box, what else can I do?

Why can't you use the electrical transducer? They have the same 3 wires I think?????
Because digi dash probably wont work?
And I can't be bothered wiring in the Tigra clocks lol
I thought it would work the same, I've never tried it tho, I just presumed it would.
why not just use a 1.2 spi transponder and nova clocks? but i used a vss from a astra gte for didgi clocks
Problem is not with the choice of transducer. The white bit that spins doesn't fit.
What gearbox and engine code are you using.
My C16XE's with F15's have both been the cog style speedo drives.
Its a X16XE out of a W reg Tigra using original box, I think its F15.
