good trick there Larry.
I'll have to eyeball that on 1.9 wbxr .

this btw, it the ONLY hase that goes THROUGH an accessory belt that I
can think of in all of cardom.
very dumb.
cause if the belt gets loose, it could wear right through that hose and
blow even overheat the engine badly.

if using a longer belt you'd want to keep in mind if it increases the
chance the belt can contact the hose.
