    Default Ac belt thrown off..... Please help.

    So I just bought this car a week ago. I love the car and have researched it quite a bit. However tonight on the way home I rompt down on it and all the sudden bam no cold air. Got home pipes the hood and the ac belt was off. I have seen a couple threads or whatnot about this issue. What should be my next step? Is there an aftermarket pulley tensioner that fixes this issue?.. Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh and I slipped the belt back on for now. uploadfromtaptalk1405037105224.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405037125144.jpg

    Hi Kenny,
    I still have one "4th of July" Special bracket and belt set available out of FL for total US$199 shipped.
    You'll need to jump right on it, before someone beats you to it, and before Ed the FL shipper goes on vacation.

    It'll keep throwing the belt whenever you romp on it.
    Worst case is the flying belt takes out part of the A/C compressor pulley, or cam sensor, or some wiring and piping....on one of it's next flights.
    A smaller (shorter length) belt would stay on but put additional stress on bearings.
    The Holden A/C bracket fix with new belt is the tried and proven method for solving the problem & not creating new problems.
