Another day, another bracket.
I wasn't comfortable with the idler pulley between the crankshaft and power steering pump being bolted directly into an aluminium boss on the timing chain cover. So I made a bracket to go between two bosses, spreading the load and eliminating the risk of any flex that might cause a failure of the aluminium.
As a trade off, the pulley is a bit lower, which reduces the wrap around the pulleys, but I think it's a worthy compromise.
I'll let the pictures tell the story!
