ZT rebuild, belt info

lots of progess on the car, even more if I would get off the internet.

This shows the front belt adjuster, it was at its full adjustment as per picture, but its was also very tight and needed a good long soak of WD40 and spray grease along with 20 or so push and pulls back and forth to restore normal operation, worth checking yours, maybe ??
This would not allow instant adjustment when reving the car.
Also top ider pully seened to be worn, bearing gone !, no its just such a bad fit on to the engine lug, that centre of the bearing can move a round on it, so bad in fact I wrapped some tape around the lug to take out the play.

My belt is marked as a motorcraft 1R3E 8620-BA
