Belt tensioner plate

Post by Peted7202 »

Does anyone have the dimensions of the belt tensioner plate that fits between the generator and engine frame?

Do you want the dimensions of the straight plate or the curved plate?

I've obtained a straight plate but it's too short to tension the belt. Is the curved different dimensions? Got a photo but cannot load it.

I would suggest that you have the wrong fan belt.
Do you still have the dynamo fitted?

The slot in the curved plate is approx 3 1/8" long.

You're correct. Wrong belt fitted by previous owner.
