Did a test and tune track day on Sat. with my new resto 2.0 /4 vintage race 914. The car ran strong except that it kept kicking off the alternator belt into the fan motor. Checked and replaced the belt, checked the alignment but same problem. Is there any type of belt tensioner available or is there a simpler fix.

the alternator itself is the belt tensioner. losen the nut for the alternator and pry it towards the drivers side (with the belt on) until the tension of the belt is good, then re-torque the bolt ...
