A&A C5 SUPERCHARGER MOUNTING BRACKET WITH ADJUSTABLE BILLET TENSIONER<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS<\/a><\/p>\n

Each plate is machined on both sides to ensure absolute flatness and accuracy. Super strong bracing, Grade 8 hardware, all steel pulleys with dual bearings, stainless or aluminum stanchions for proper bearing support, and our adjustable billet tensioner are all standard. Our brackets are also set up to use 6 or 8-rib drive belts without modification, right out of the box.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our bracket assemblies have often been described as \u201cjewelry\u201d. Look at the overall quality of the machine work and components. It really is a work of art.<\/p>\n

Combined with our billet tensioner, the A&A bracket offers unsurpassed belt wrap on the supercharger pulley as well as the crankshaft pulley for exceptional grip.<\/p>\n

Each tensioner is machined from 9.6 pounds of 6061 Aluminum bar. The shaft is precision machined 4340 Chromoly steel. The tensioner rotates on German-manufactured bearings that are precision fit, much like an engine bearing. The bores are set for a certain amount of \u201ccrush\u201d so that the shaft-to-bearing clearance is within the range specified by the bearing manufacturer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the quality side of the tensioner assembly. On the practical side, we have 2 internal spring settings and an option spring. A 1000 HP drag racer obviously needs more spring pressure than a 600 HP daily driver, right? This can be accomplished with just one tensioner!\u00a0 There is also a \u201clock pin\u201d so the tensioner can be rotated to the slack position and locked in place. This is a huge help when installing a belt, changing an alternator, etc. Fighting the spring tensioner is a thing of the past.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Belt changes are accomplished from the top with no need to go under the car at all.<\/p>\n

No other manufacturer has a tensioner that is even close to ours in both quality and practicality.<\/p>\n

Each one is hand-assembled at our facility and checked for proper operation and spring tension with a digital torque meter. NOBODY else does that but A&A!<\/strong><\/p>\n
