Jim;
I have an Eurospec conversion and I have a similar observation. Though my
air conditioner compressor is not working so the belt is not present. my
power steering overflow tank is right there and it shows signs of wear
where the belt was!!!  My air filter is directly behind the liscense plate
and it shows wear from the bolts holding the lower pulley of the power
steering!!!  The motor moves a bit while you drive!!

So, Yes it is an issue! Careful alignment and maybe moving it over a bit
may be an option.

Subject: Tiico and the Burp Tank

I can't say for sure because I'm waiting for the left motor mount to arrive,
but it looks like the AC compressor pulley will rub the burp tank (coolant
tank behind the license plate) when I finish Tiicoizing my '85 Westy.

Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions?

TIA
