I made a minimalistic belt because room was needed for other things.
I replaced the waterpump with a "short" standard rotation waterpump and reused the stock pulley.
Then I modified the bracket around the servo steering fluid tank.
I added some length to get an old style slot for belt tensioning.
I also welded in some reinforcement where it used to bolt to the AIR pump.
A turnbuckle works great as a belt tensioner.





Now I have also bypassed the water pump.
