Idle progress

This past week a coworker turned a shaft for the idler at the 10 oclock position to the power steering pump. Still work to do - probably located the idler a bit too low, so need a slightly smaller pulley. Have a block of aluminum that can be turned for that pulley. I'm debating another idler below the alternator, but I think a shorter belt is the correct solution. The new plate in the lower right is to accomodate a tensioner for the accessory drive.








Here's the shaft for that idler pulley. I'm making a plate that will attach to the power steering bracket to capture the shaft so it isn't a big lever.

Also this weekend I worked on the motor mount plates. No pictures yet.
