RB Alternator Dual Pulley
I installed it and i can put on the first belt, farthest away from the alternator but when i try to put on the 2nd one, it wont fit, it wont go over the 1st belt to get to the spot closest to the alternator, do i have to take out the 2 pulleys where the a/c belt should be so it'll be easier or do i just use the same belt i had on the single pulley, it fits but its a little loose..
or pry the belts on like you do with a bikechain

why do I see alot of dual pully belts flipped. the reason for the pully is so that it doesn't slip with the air valve removed. wouldn't the belts flipped cause slipping as higher rpm's? I was talking about this with a friend and he said that it might be so that at higher rpm's there is slipping so that the alternator doesn't burn out. seems logical but that negates the reason for the pully in the first place. anybody have any info on this?

ok let me re-phrase that. Most pics that I see of the dual belt pully have the belts flopped so that the flat side is to the pully and the ribbed side is up. since the purpose of the pully is to stop the belts from slipping. since the belts are revesed doesn't this work against the reason for doing the mod? I asked a friend and he said that the belts might be reversed so that at higher rpm's the belts slip so that the alternator doesn't burtn out.

I just helped a guy with a GTUs redo his belts, and the replacements from Checkers had ribs on both sides.
