Detroit Tuned :: Tensioner Stop
The Detroit Tuned Tensioner Stop is here. After trying all the products on the market, we decided to make one that worked better for less. Many of the stops on the market do not allow you to fully de-tension the belt tensioner for service. Our flexible but strong cable allows the full movement needed in the tensioner. Should your belt brake, our stop will keep everything together. The large flat ends allow extra protection for the shock’s rubber bushings. The ends keep the bushings protected and in place. No more looking at your tensioner only to find the bushings are ripped and working their way out.
Each uses a cable rated for 340 lbs, crimped, and soldered for good measure. The first units were tested on a car with a 4% crank pulley. We took off the belt and let it go to check for clearance. With the tensioner fully extended, you will have about 1/8 of an inch before the tab that runs through the spring hits the spring limiter and breaks. If you running a crank pulley on your MINI, this is a must add item. Don’t let a broken belt turn into a $400 dollar fix.
All of this for a very low price of $20.00!!!
