If anyone in the Edmonton Alberta area wants one I'm done with mine. Free pickup. Sorry, I'm a little too busy with things right now to ship. Email me directly at pmaland2000@yahoo.ca if interested. Sold my 944.

Sorry I missed that Tom was new to the site. My mistake

I used the tool and it was fantastic. However I did not print it. I think anyone you know with a printer can understand the file format etc. With my limited tech skills I somehow downloaded the stl and forwarded to my guy.

I for one have no problem you messaging me or private message (or whatever) for advice. I'm a journeyman red seal technician but these cars have their own quirks. Just saying I'm no expert but having gone through it once is nice. I'm never shy about learning and then passing it on to others.

My car's the 8V but still thought I'd report back.
First off, a great success owing much to this great little tool.

Upon first installation of the T belt in my little shop, I got things nicely in place with the spark plugs out and a good wrench on ...

I see. Interesting.

Yes I was thinking of filing the 3/8" opening there for clearance. Then JB Welding in a square 3/8" ID metal sleeve to combat the wear the torque wrench provides. Wouldn't be too hard to fab something like that up. However I didn't find it necessary under limited use.

I think this is such a smart tool design. Worked very well for me. Of course the BSB tension is still a bit of a mystery, but comparing with the cam belt helps to dial in a very good guesstimate.

I personally tensioned the new BSB to about a 135 degree twist. I also noted the tension of the old ...

It worked great for me. I carefully checked my torque wrench for accuracy is all.

A companion tool for the balance belt would be fantastic! Yes sign me up!

I did do the BSB but obviously set with more slack than the cam. I used a combination of a coil spring "home-made" belt deflection tool I made, but mostly I used the twist method and an educated guess? The Porsche shop ...
