Assembling the Anet A6 3D printer kit, I found that the Y Belt mounting was way to high for consistent belt tension. The belts included with the kit are thicker than standard GT-2 belts and more inflexible - I decided to replace them with standard RepRap GT-2 belts (eBay).
The model is *Prusa Style* and comes in two flavors, one for the kit belt and one for the thin RepRap belt (Thin in name).
I replaced the screws with 2x M4 10mm and 2x M4 25mm.
To tighten the belt, lose the motor screws (or pulley), mount the belt loose, press the motor in place and gently re-tighten the motor screws.
