I am installing the Idler Bracket from billetflow and noticed it touches the metal pipe from the coolant going to the radiator. Is there supposed be a washer or something? or is this like that. It started touching before i completly put the bolt all the way in.

If that bracket is touching the pipe like you said there is something wrong. I know, thank you Capt. Obvious. :bash: Maybe it is on backwards, but from what I remember, there is only one way it can be installed. :shrug:
OK, lets see if this works, go to the page and you should see the pictures. I took one of the front, everything looks good. Don't know why the bracket was so close to the hose. Look carfully at the 3rd pic, you will se how the metal pipe toches the bracket ath the curved area.

Yeah, there is only one way to install it. It look pretty straight forward. Take a look at the pictures and you'll see.

I just added more pictures. They are under photo album http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/commu...d=196298&groupid=259158&folderview=thumbs&ck=
for comparison I added a picture from billetflow website. same pulley 2.93 and it look like my idler pulley is much closer to the supercharger pulley than his. Im refering to the 4th pic=my car and the last one = billetflow.

Hmmm..guess that's the issue then. Everything else looks good..maybe the bracket wasn't machined correctly because it does look mighty close...can't really see if it's actually touching though.
no, it is not rubing on anything, exept that. I am loading a pullye tune just to see if everything is OK when I start the car. Cant wait to get RWTD tune. Will let you know in a minute.

In my opinion it needs a little of trimming on the curve that shapes the metal pipe in order to clear it.

So whats rubbing on what then? Maybe you will have to bend the crossover tube up a bit, but you shouldnt have to do that. Doug did say that new ones were coming out soon that offered more belt wrap.
