Also, I am trying to find your post and noticed that you were at the Rolex 24. I was as well and had dinner on Friday night with a bunch of Corvette people I never met before.

I will look for part numbers when I get back home thursday night. It is a good system and has worked well for me
It's not cheap just for the parts as I listed in the post. The labor will be a good bit also unless you can do it yourself.
The only problem with anything in the system is this. The pulley drive that mounts on the belt tensioner is not a good design. The bearing it runs on is at the far rear of the assembly and the drive belt runs on the extreme other end of the assembly. The bearing cannot support the pull of the belt and it failed. My mechanic, Buddy Hendricks figured out a way to modify the pulley to where two bearings could be installed and so far that has worked.
