This is fully installed & working, with the engine idling. Considering how the previous belt appeared to have stretched, I intentionally set my idler pulley so the tensioner is close to its "new belt" limit. Whether this one stretches or not, it fits & works. But if it does stretch, it has a long way to go before the tensioner bottoms out. After hole-sawing through that tab, I discovered it's hollow, and is part of the reservoir cavity. That's why I had to glue the patch around the hole to seal the edge. But it still makes more sense than having the tensioner gauge covered.
