i will definitly agree with vw bug. that setup will work just fine.......i've noticed that when using smooth side w/p pulleys....they give more degrees of belt wrap....less traction than with grooves, l suppose.

Great,
Once I get the Trany cross-member done I can start on that
This weekend is tied up with Honey do list and PM on my other trike
started mocking up the altenator
The stock bracket puts it up to high
if I make my own bracket I can lower it 2 inches

Not sure why all my pics got turned on their side
Had issue uploading another pic also
fabricated the cross member yesterday
for now it has 1 bolt on each side
later it will have 2 on each side
need to weld some gussets on the underside on the bracket that is actually welded to the frame

bob.....what are your plans for the humped up crossmember that is above your new rear trans.mount??? .....realize it was/is needed to keep frame in alignment. body mnt. seat mounting or what.....just curious.

In front of the cross member will be the front seat (above the trany)
Behind that will be the back seat. (will have a plate over the drive shaft for Butt protection)
Then the gas tank and at the end a truck bed with a nice wood floor inlay
My wife wants a dash panel so attached to that cross member will be some type of stand with a platform on top. Not sure what will go in her dash yet

you are moving right along, more than i can say for my projects...no idea if its been mentioned or not...but it looks like your pinion may be up a tad... should be within a couple degrees of the trans..if not it will vibrate...i think you can buy wedges to help or cut n re-weld the saddles....
this a great explanation [video=youtube;Idk3BVDVHq4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idk3BVDVHq4[/video]
