FYI for Maggie owners

Magna Charger has come out with a (minor) upgrade/update to their maggie kit.

This upgrade relates to a small bracket that attempts to provide further stability to the belt tensioner, thereby, hopefully, increasing belt life (as the tensioner can flex at times, resulting in additional strain on the belt). It's a fairly simple bracket that is adjustable and connects the bracket to the engine block.

The upgrade is free. I picked mine up today.

I've had mine for a couple months now... kinda like 2 slotted L-shaped brackets? I thought it was something old meant to reinforce the stock tensioner. Guess i should install it now, speaking of maggie belts...guess ill start a new thread

Aye--2 slotted, L shaped brackets
Thanks.

This info may become very useful in the very near future. :sneaky:
Mine came with a little instruction manual, but again since i bought mine used i assumed it must have been an old part. Maybe i should go ahead and put it on.. Could help with my little squealing issue, doubt it but it;s worth a shot! I get to it this weekend and put up some pics unless someone beats me to it.
Anybody have pics of this new tensioner bracket? ... the one described as two L-shaped brackets with slots?

I'm waiting for tech support at Magnuson to call back regarding my belt; it's riding up about 3 mm (1/8") onto the drive pulley flange/lip/shoulder/whatever.
Been waiting for the brackets since June; I gave up holding my breath.
Three months waiting? And here I was about to post how good their customer service seemed to be.

You know, they REALLY need to make Rick happy as he carries just a little bit of influence with a few of us. :duh:

Guess I'll wait till I get a call back. :food-snacking:
