Tell me more about the serpentine setup, and will it fit to the 1.6 TD?
I have a few notes on it I have scrapped together over the years, but nothing complete and no sources for parts.

Van Cafe doesn't presently stock just the fasteners, but they do have the who arm and fasteners for $35 plus shipping. Several other tuning vendors have just the fasteners, I ordered one for about $12.00 shipped.

I needed look no further than my own parts stash to find the short adjustment arm used on the diesel Vanagon setup. The difficulty of getting such a part if one was stuck out on the road is something you don't want to go through. Pretty easy job, hard to find part.

Thicker, stouter, and with extra features like that geared rack that you may have seen on 1991 gas Vanagons to allow you to tension the alternator with a gear that fit in the rack so the the belt could be properly tightened with one wrench and locked down with another. Very slick, I had one for a 2.1 and sold it years ago. So I have this spiffy bracket but need the star gear to fit the rack (looks the same to me) and the lock bolt, in other words everything but the bracket to make this work. So does anyone have these parts for the part number mentioned above they would be willing to sell, or for the 2.1 bracket (but I don't need the bracket, just the gear and lock nut and anything that goes with that).
