Yeah man you have a different bracket than I do. One is older but I don't know which one. You're not MISSING anything. It just never was there. I'd also like to know which one is newer.

This is correct I have the same bracket as you stangbang. Andy added that extra idler for more belt wrap.

do you have any issues with belt slippage? what length of belt do you use? i put on a 88 7/8" belt and it seems to fit tight. i do have a problem with it tryin to walk on me a lil

With my P1 I had no issues at all. Now I'm 8 rib with a F1A and I'm still waiting on a few issue to resolve with fuel pump clearance. You might want to check your alignment of your pulleys and then go from there.

Thats is what I heard but reclocking a F1A is very hard verse a P1 or D1. This is the only reason I have not bought one of your new brackets yet. But I'm sure one day I'll be buying one
