Ed, I would but they are several years old. I dont think theres a lifetime warranty on them but I'll check (Columbia Bugaboots).

Correct, I should have pointed that out originally.
Yeah, you have plenty of room when the rad is removed. I just think using the FG for setting the guide plate clearance could be problematic.
With the tool from Gates its just slap it in there and tighten the bolts.
The guide plate keeps the belt from possibly jumping teeth.
Using a feeler gauge while the engine is still in the car is/would be a pita.
When you tighten the bolts it moves the plate tighter, so the tool Gates provides means you dont need to use the feeler gauge, you just stick it in there and tighten the bolts. We really should have this available here :-\
Havent checked the website yet, but I would assume we do.
Went to the corporate site and checked the part numbers, dont see anything listed that was in the TSB yet.
Email sent to corporate, will post results.
Not sure if this has been discussed or not, but I got this link from a member here (unable to post it) But the info should pertain to all of the US.
