Re: 971's chassis

I would also be very interested in learning how these tensioners work. I saw the picture you guys have, but how do you make sure that both sides of the shaft are aligned so that the wheel is straight?

I have a couple more questions:

How hard is it to replace the timing belt with this setup?
Sheet-metal wise, what tolerance does your manufacturer provide?
What thickness and alloy of sheet metal do you use?
Do you guys press in bearings into the sheetmetal? If not, what else do you add to keep them in there, and if so have you had any problems with them falling out?

Thanks
