Fantastic.
Redid the power steering bracket on mine, including a nice little L to hold the belt on, kinda like on a lawn mower belt. Problem, it didn't fix it. The pulley, I put on straight and reinforced, still pulls upward, and walks the belt off. The L holds the belt on, but doesn't re-seat it on the pulley, so the belt just kinda rubs on it.
No jive.
Going to have to go forward with moving the PS pump to the other side, in place of the AC compressor.
It held enough to move the Rover to the back of the driveway with the e46 that needs new suspension, etc.
Anyone have good engine bay pics of a South African Defender with an M52? I wanna see how they did it from the factory.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Slammin, have you replaced that tensioner pulley yet? About the only thing the that pushes belts off is pulley misalignment. That tensioner pulley looks crooked and would do just that if it is.
Also, those welds.

Dem welds. I didn't make the bracket, I just repaired it. I really do want to ditch this setup.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

If the idler stayed straight, i don't think it would walk. It looks in the pic like the idler is at a different angle (not parallel) to the other pulleys, maybe the tensioning spring is shot as well.
