The Pug guides referred to a proprietry Seem tensioner but no one seems to know how to convert the 45 Seem units required in to the more common units used by most tension measurement tools!
You don't need to put a great deal of force on the tensioner to get the tension about right. (I over-tensioned one, revealed by a whine from the cam pulleys) & had to re-do it all again!). The tensioner needs (if I remember right) an 8mm square tool. I made a tool following advice from another forum ….a short piece of square door handle bar (yes, as in from a house door) welded to a piece of flat bar!
8mm is an odd size, I’ll check that before I stand to take anything apart. That’s a good shout though about making a tool for it, I should have everything I need here to make o e up
