Running a 50mm cog setup on an 89 and seeing about 23psi. I am worried about flex and can't seem to find the strut brace for the novi 2000 passenger mount. I do have the dual tensioner with the new thick bracket...do i need to worry about bracing it or is it not an issue. I am getting mixed signals with the threads I am reading.
I would not think you would need it since you do not need near the tension using a cog setup. I have seen at the track people making 20-25psi with no flex issues and the thick mount. But what are you calling the THICK mount. Paxton product or a after market bracket. Most using the 10 rib have been using a bracket like what Ian was selling a few years back on this site.
Here is the bracket that is on my car. It is the factory paxton bracket but I was told that in the past couple of years they are now using a thicker billet dual bracket...that is what I was referring to. I do not run this car consistently hard it is more of a show/street cruiser with a lot of horsepower. I am just trying to get some input before dropping 600 into a brace I really don't need. Thanks for the response....you are always helpful when I post a message.
I can't see you needing a support brace. Now if I manufactured those braces I bet you could use one. lol
Save your money.
Thanks for the input.
It is the best thing I ever did when using a cog belt.
