This is a mod that I have been meaning to do but finally got installed tonight.
With me running a Whipple @ 20 psi I figured it was a good thing to do.
This braces the factory tensioner to keep it from flexing outward and keep it working properly.
Tensioner Support Plate, 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra: Metco Motorsports
Here's a few pics from the install.
The billet bracket comes with a very hard piece of Delrin on it to guide the tensioner. You can see it here.
The spacers mount the brace the proper distance from the tensioner to allow it to move up and down, but not in and out.
The intercooler Reservoir line comes out from under the brace so I put a piece of convolute tubing on it for protection.
The tensioner now feels more secure and is still able to do it's job properly without the risk of flexing. I think it is a wort while mod for anyone with any sort of pulley upgrade either with an Eaton or Twin Screw. :thumbsup:
