I just started the bolt in the center of the tensioner, then put a small allen behind it and used a screwdriver to rotate the base into place, and push the pin into location:

i wish i would of seen how you did the gates before i did mine.
i recently had to replace my alternator and had to take the tensioner back out. i didn't want to go through the trouble i had the
first time with the gates tensioner so i bought a different one, e.g. like one DR sells.

you'll be able to add another to TX cause i want to put another one on.
since Xanth tensioner install looks simple i'll try and reuse my tensioner, so i'll just need the bracket.
thanks...

My method worked out fairly well, just make sure the bolt for your tensioner is long enough to thread in with room to spare, and you have a small hardened tool to use for a lever.
I tried a couple things, such as nails, but they are much too soft to work. Needs to be some hard metal like the Torx wrench I used.

I guess you got me on your "Bracket Map" - You should upgrade to one of these online maps with placeable icons that shows the world

Hoping to have mine working by tomorrow. Tried to install the newer alternator, but that didn't work out. I'll have to do that later. I bought an '88 exhaust heat shield to use with the upgraded alternator because the earlier ones won't quite work right. But I know my luck. As soon as I try to remove the exhaust manifold bolts to put the heat shield on, SNAP! So I decided to put the old alternator back on and wait until another time for the upgrade. Had to put new tie rods on the passenger side. So that took more time. It kept raining off and on. Dammitol  I still have to hook up the battery and the dog bone, then it should be good to go. Had to quit for the night because I ran out of light and the mosquitoes were starting to treat me like a blood bank. But the kit is great. Had my dumb luck not interfered, I would have been done a long time ago. ------------------
