It is very simple to make the device to tighten the belt. You need to take a small 3" c-clamp and cut the foot off of the clamp. Now get a bolt with a large enough head to extend the threaded portion of the c-clamp. Hook the c-clamp over the tensioner bracket and position the bolt in line with the threaded portion of the c-clamp to apply downward pressure on the spacer between the pully and the tensioner bracket. Loosen the tap on the tensioner pully and simply turn the c-clamp against the bolt to push the pully down against the belt. Then re-tighten the tap on the tensioner pully. You can get it VERY tight this way so be sure you don't over tighten it because it is very easy to do.
