Do that with a serpentine on a Chevy 350 and I'll be impressed.

We are noted for our fast blower belt changes.

Our TM mounting plate will flex enough to change out the Gates blower belts in ~10 minutes.

You have to roll the belts off and on, but that's the way most of our customers perform the replacement.

Seriously Larry, you think a flimsy mounting plate is something to brag about? Maybe if it didn't flex so much belt changes wouldn't be as frequent.

It is a full 1/4" thick, but mounted on large rubber shock mounts.

Many of them are over 20 years old.

So.... The engine and blower are bolted to the same piece of steel, but it flexed enough to change a belt? Not picking on you Larry, just trying picture this setup.
