[Vwdiesel] Anyone know how to use the VW210 TB tension gauge?

[Kneale Brownson]

If I were a fisherman, I might posess a fish scale.  Instead, I'm a vehicle maintenance hobbyist who owns a VW210 without knowing how to use it.  Maybe you should take your scale down to the VW shop and try testing a few timing belts?

Hi Neale
When you figure out how to use the gauge; please, please check the final 
tension with a fisherman's spring balance to see what the correct tension is 
in lbs :o)
Thanks
