Couple products from Metco with 1 being new

[Posi]

Okay the first one is a new one and has not been sold yet. It's a cover for the end of your Eaton's snout to dress it up and will go along with the rest of your Made in the USA idler pullies from our friends at Metco.

Installation is rather easy too.:lol1: Price is $11.99 without free shipping unfortunately. Unless another order is placed then shipping could be free. For just the Snout Cover though the customer will have to pay shipping.

Now this one is what is going on my car when it gets put back together. I can't believe I haven't installed it before now. It's a brace to make your stock tensioner stronger.

Here's a brief description of it from Metco and then a link with more information as well. Pricing for this is $69.99.

The tensioner support plate is offered as an alternative to an aftermarket tensioner assembly. The support plate addresses the most common issue with the factory tensioner, which is the bending of the arm towards the front of the vehicle when the belt is heavily loaded. This flexing affects the belt tracking, which then leads to belt slip. We have seen tensioner arms bent permanently in this fashion, and have seen tensioners break at the point of flex.
If the vehicle is equipped with an original tensioner in good condition, the tensioner plate will prevent any flexing issues from occurring. The plate acts as a brace or girdle, and allows the tensioner to freely move within its intended travel range but not bend. The installation is very simple, and unlike aftermarket tensioners, readily-available replacement pulleys can be used when necessary. The brace has been proven to be very effective, and the retention of the OEM tensioner eliminates the increased risk to pulley, alternator, and supercharger snout bearings often associated with aftermarket tensioners.

Haven't they made the belt tensioner brace for awhile now? I'll be looking into getting one.

Yes sir they have but it seems to kind of go below the radar. I just learned myself that it can help fix some belt slip by keeping the pulley and itself aligned with the rest of the system.:bash: Never even crossed my mind.

Edit: I'd venture not to many people abuse the stock tensioner as much as me either lol. I have like 15 different belts laying around here and all of those go on or went on very TIGHT!

Any idea if the snout cover will fit over RR pulleys?

Any idea if you can install the tensioner brace while its on the car?

Nice looking Metco products...

Curious, what's that carbon fiber I see right under the blower/above the valve covers?

EDIT: I'll take one of those blower pulley snout covers! Also do they make one to fit the aux 100mm pulley? I'd take one for that to maybe! I have paypal or whats the best way to pay?

Maybe I missed it, but when will the snout cover be available? I took my blower off two nights ago to clean things up. This would help nicely!

 

[Bdubbs]

Any updates on availability?

Lol, I didn't even mention the actuall idler covers.

I'm sorry but I do not know that. I would guess no.

Yes but it's easier to take off to do so. It's a 15 minute job tops and comes with detailed instructions to do so.

I'll find out Monday on the carbon fiber that we can see.

Let us do some checking and we'll get back with you on the 100mm idler covres.

We can take orders for the snout cover now.

Any updates on availability?

See above. Sorry I was offline most of yesterday.

That's a product they sold a few years ago that was cancelled.

The idler covers are compatible with stock idlers and then their own Metco idlers as well.
