..Just want to show you my short belt version.
Used a guideroller from the aircond. system drive-tensioner from a -88 2.3 LX, and installed this instead of the normal -86GT tensioner roller.Then I drilled a hole close to the end of the tensioner assy,and fixed a plate with drilled holes to the unit. Then I used a adjustable wire tensioner to stretch the belt. Fixed the other end to the powersteering bracket, and this works fine!
Before I race, I suched up a little of the Power steering oil with a small emty bottle.(in case of spillings from the system without a running pump.) And Its fast to install the long serpentine belt again... Just leave the plate attached to the tensioner,the ribbed roller works as a long
belt tensioner roller, and unscrew the middel section of the wire stretcher....
