Question Who makes belt tensioner that places tension on passenger side?

Just read a thread that indicates their is a belt slippage tendency w/ported blower. I know of Metco, but theirs is on the driver's side of the supercharger pulley. Anybody else make them for the factory Eaton but place the tension on the "drive" (passenger) side?

Thanks.

Magnum Powers makes the replacement idler bracer which puts the extra idler on the pass side.

add to that Sal's trick of NOT USING one of the lower idler Pulley's,
and Waa Laa





DEF tension coming from the Pass Side
and 22 lbs of Screaming Boost in my case, WITH NO SLIPPING
(soon to be MORE, woo hoo..... ; o )

Rob, that looks good! I think you should replace your factory pulleys with something like these to finish it off!

I appreciate the info.

Has anybody else seen belt slippage with a stock upper?

How about when the blower is ported?
