[T3] I am stuck here, half way there

["David Martinez" <wfoh8x9@msn.com>]

I did find out (the hard way) why my clutch felt like it was not grabbing,
IT's BROKEN.
Right now I just got it to the guest house I am staying at in second gear.
I know someone has a good one can have and preferably that can ship it by 
tomorrow, I will even pay FEDEX, I need this assembly. I know someone welded 
one a few months back on the list but I am not confident that will hold 
since I am going all the way to MD next. Will probably weld the one I take 
out and use it as a spare.
Please let me know ASAP, reasonable price. I am stuck here, half way there.

I will buy that from you, but let me get this pedal assy situation taken 
care of first. I will send you a P-Email to finalize the transaction.

How much (deflection) should you have on the Generator Belt?

OK see I knew it was too tight.
I moved all six shims to the inside of the pulley now and it looks and feels 
a lot better.
