The tensioner assy I used was ratted from a Fraud Telstar. It was almost a bolt on fit.
I think that this is the way that I will look to go, one of the best options that I have seen that works for me.

Aside from Mikes reverse impeller and custom pulley set up which is awesome what I am looking for dosnt appear to exist. The electric water pump options are a nice looking kit and would achieve what I want and also there are a number of kits and all possible pulley locations and set ups as well.

This will not be solved as quick as I first thought however it has given me ideas on approaching this in a different way to suit what I want to achieve.

Boxhead, asside from less contact area on the crank and alternator, could that idler pulley be deleated.. or am missing something .

Cheers
