Greetings:

Just use your stock pulley boss and stock belt,. You will see when you install where the case needs grinding for clearance: just a mm or 2. On the 16 block, clearancing the case for a wider ZX belt is a much bigger job, but the 05 Ruck vario is easy and quick. The Ruck is a worthwhile upgrade too.
