Mr. Genius on the Ausrotary.com forum makes these.....and yes, 12A's need a spacer to make sure the belts are in true alignment. i believe it is a spacer for the Alt. pulley...
From what I gather....since both main pulleys have a key slot, line up the key slot with the stock pulley and make some timing marks! A dremel should work...It would be best to use a RB dual belt pulley since it has 4 timing marks already so you can mark 5ATDC - 20BTDC...

In order to set your timing, you have to find your TDC. In order for that, you will have to remove your side inspection plate.
On the passenger side of the engine bay, you will find the intake and exhaust side of the engine. Towards the back of the engine, before the transmission, you fill find a plate with 2 10mm or 12mm bolts holding it into the engine. I cannot remember what side, but I am leaning towards 10mm. Remove them. When they are gone, you should see the flywheel. Turn the front pully by hand until the FLAT SIDE of the flywheel (79-82 has a total FLAT side, 83-85 has a side with the grooves lacking, you will know what I mean) is parallel to the flat side of the engine. This finds your Top Dead Center. Now, with the dizzy OUT of the engine, align the line on the distrubter base with the dots. Slide it in, with little to no movement (preferably NO movement) on the distributer rotor.
You now have Top Dead Center (TDC).

can you also do this to a S4 13b engine to find TDC position?
