It should be easy to press it inward 1" in the middle of the belt. Overtightening increases the wear on the belt and pulleys and the side load on the generator bearings. There is no advantage to running this belt tight. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
