Tea20 fan belt tension

I was refitting the generator and after tensioning the fan belt I noticed that the generator pulley was not in line with the other fan belt pulleys and was thinking of how I could give the generator mounting plate a good bash to fix things.
Anyways I loosened off the generator and slackened the belt tension and all appears to be good now. So just how much tension is enough as I didn't think I had over done it but was enough to put too much stress on gen mount plate I guess.

Those don't need a lot of tension.

Hard to describe, but they don't run as tight as an automotive belt. No need to with the low amp generator and small fan, low RPM.

Nice looking restore!
