Reinventing the wheel might be quite satisfying, but you'll never get any payback in future time savings when you replace belts. Those two belts still must come off to replace the alternator belts. Unfortunately, the alternator belts will stretch to the limit of the bracket travel far sooner than the belts themselves will be trashed.
My belts are not more than one year old. I tightened the alternator belts this morning and I've only got 1/4" left on the bracket for future tightening.
The new belt gauge works quite well. No more guessing on tension.
