Lets not forget to remind people that if you are going to use a v-belt setup
from a golf/rabbit/jetta/scirocco/fox/whatever that the timing belt and
intermediate pulley will need to be removed to attach the bracket at the
head.

With a serpentine belt setup, you do not have to do this. Pics will be up on
the site near the end of next week detailing what I refer to as the Tiico
Deluxe :) Very nice and clean when done right and vibrations are gonzo.
