I believe I finally have this resolved after 4 months of fighting it. Kwik sent me a new revised bracket that doesn't use the water pump as a key mounting point (although it does have a small support bracket that bolts to the water pump). I also used 2 shims behind the tensioner (they provided 1 with each kit) and K061115 (111.5") belt with a 105A alternator. I have put 500 miles on it without a squeal thus far. The new kit is the same as the old with an extra bracket and you don't use the water pump bolt. I would assume Kwik/VA could sent a cheap "upgrade" to anyone having squealing issues with their brackets and it would only take a few minutes to make the changes. The new Gates tensioner (rather than the one VA supplies) seems more robust as well.
