"gilmer"new kiwi friend sent me gilmer setup!

hey guys this mite get a little weird and if the mods want to edit this post feel free.

first iam sorry to my self and to you guys that i didn't post these pics here first.
but i needed info on belts and i am pretty sure no in is useing this setup on this site yet.

any ways on to the story.

like 6 months ago i saw a video of a b series pickups with a turbo 13b in it and useing a gilmer setup. first time i ever saw it. i looked up info and pics ect cause i thought it was cool. any ways i started to do a bunch of work on my car and removed my air pump.

i tired the pineapple racing "yahoo" belt that goes around the e-shaft and water pump. took for ever to get the belt on and kept twisting ect. the belt broke before i ever got it on. i said iam not going to spend that much money again and have that problem happen yet again.

i then started talking to people about double belt pulley on the alt trick. most people said the same thing, all most no two belts are the same size or they don't stretch the same.

i deiced id drop the money and go gilmer, i wound up sending a pm to a kiwi on rx7 club and got it thru him. saved money not getting it from tweakit.

now the pics





now this is the bad part i posted a question on rx7club of where to buy belts for it or a belt number so i can get one in a parts store near by. didn't want to always go on the net to get one. i can get them from my work but, what if i get fired so i wanted to be safe. half the people flamed me ect.
