I did a quick test fit just now without starting the car up or even wraping the belt around it. There was a slight rubbing against the bracket, but it took very little effort to turn the pulley. I'm going to an old buddy'* of mine tomarrow (he owns a GTP) and we are gonna try to get this to fit. I'll let you guys know the progress...

A dremal, some high heat paint, and a lot of cursing and TA DA!





Has cooling become more efficient? Heck if I know, but I did gain a little high end.

Once you dremeled that bracket have you seen any rub or experienced any other difficulties?

Admins: sorry, for dredging up the past but i am curious about this mod.
