F.
Using the supplied 3/8-16 x 1.75" bolts and
3/8" AN washers, secure the supercharger
to the Vortech aluminum mounting bracket,
except where indicated. (See Fig. 8.2-c.)
G.
Using the supplied 3/8-16 x 2" bolt, fasten
the Vortech idler mounting plate to the
supercharger and mounting bracket. Do not
use a washer. Align the second hole while
torquing the bolt. Secure the factory
smooth idler to the idler mounting plate
with the supplied 12mm x 25mm bolt and
dust shield. Use thread locking compound.
Make sure the “open” side of the pulley is
installed toward the alternator.
**H. Detach the wiring harness support bracket
from the harness. Enlarge the hole on the
bracket using a 27/64" drill bit. (See Fig. 8.
2-d.) Remove any sharp edges around the
enlarged hole and reinstall it onto the
harness. (Failure to re-install this bracket
between the Vortech bracket and front
cover will result in bracket misalignment
and possible parts failure.)
