Hey guys I have a question that I was unable to find a answer for using the search function. I am looking at buying at idler set for my 03 cobra. This is what im looking at. Billetflow : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs

Here is my question im considering buying all four. But if i should decide to go with the single upper one would I need the bracket that they offer? What is the advantage to buying the bracket? Could I just buy the idler pulley alone and just plug and play? This/these will be going on with a 2.76 super charger pulley and a tune. Thanks guys!

You have to buy the bracket because it is an extra idler that the car does not have.

The factory setup only has 3 idlers. The 4th idler is put there for extra belt wrap when going with a smaller blower pulley (like the 2.76 you plan on running).

You will NEED all 4 with that setup. :thumbsup:

Ok that clears it up!! However I thought all four is just for even more prevention of belt slip. I could just go with the idler pulley and bracket if desired right?

In the 4 pulley setup in this case they send 1 92mm and 3 100mm. Where does the 92mm go???

Thanks

I would get Metco's set of pulleys. Their coating on the idlers is less prone to wear and they also offer double bearing idlers.
