Just looking at my Procat with it's spoofy anti-roll bar on the front suspension. It's mounted on the top chassis plate underneath the drive-belt, but the belt actually touches it. The instruction manual shows that arrangement too. Seems to me it's a recipe for premature wear and noise too.
I would have thought that the bar could be mounted on short (say 3mm) standoffs ABOVE the belt to avoid contact with the belt.
Any comments?

Belt is extremely close but I don't know if it actually touches. I've never had an issue with my CATs or Procats but I believe some run bar under top deck which might be a solution.
