That part's easy:  just twist the Huret driver belt into a figure-8 when
you reinstall it.  You may have to bend or twist the mounting bracket
to prevent it from rubbing itself....   (A friend of mine did this when
he discovered that the Huret interfered with front panniers on low-rider 
racks.  He mounted it on the rear wheel, opposite the freewheel, and had
to use this trick.  Rear panniers stay clear of the unit.)
