WTB: Power Steering delete pulley/tensioner
The water pump inlet pipe I'm using won't let me use the shim method on the compressor so looking for the ps delete pulley if anyone has a spare.
Thanks

One of the members found a SF (stretch to fit) belt that allows normal compressor positioning and deletes any tensioner.
FYI, Found a good "stretch-fit" belt for AC w/out PS - Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats.
That's the way I'd go if I was not using PS.
There was also someone making a billet PS delete pully as well that was very nice and priced about what the rare Mazda pieces usually sell for.
You could buy something brand new for what a used piece cost.
I'd still go the stretchy belt route.
Early 2000s Chevy trucks have a **** poor tensioner set up for the AC belt. I used to make the auto tensioner into a manual one but the late model 2013+ stretchy belt solves this problem nicely. I haven't modded a tensioner in three years, have put 50+ stretch belts on and haven't had a single failure.
