altl14.jpg This is fully installed & working, with the engine idling.  Considering how the previous belt appeared to have stretched, I intentionally set my idler pulley so the tensioner is close to its "new belt" limit.  Whether this one stretches or not, it fits & works.  But if it does stretch, it has a long way to go before the tensioner bottoms out.

After hole-sawing through that tab, I discovered it's hollow, and is part of the reservoir cavity.  That's why I had to glue the patch around the hole to seal the edge.  But it still makes more sense than having the tensioner gauge covered.
