Blower Belt Guard?

Does anyone make one for our blower? Several threads have people talking about increased chance of throwing the belt when doing an upper pulley swap. Be nice to protect the hood
just in case .

Well, based off zero replies, nothing is available. Maybe I should ask those that have done pulley swaps if you have had belt slip issues.

Zero issues with a 15% lower and stock upper.

This is the reason to do a lower pulley swap instead of an upper. Smaller pulley is prone to more slip and more likely to throw the belt.

Have to wonder why GM on their testing did the upper. I see some folks have done both.

They did their testing with an upper and lower combination not just the upper or lower.

We are deviating from their tested combination when one or the other is changed.

Harder to change the lower than the upper. So most people do the upper.
