Belt stretch gauge?

Or in other words, belt tension gauge. The Porsche model 944 has some insane general maintenance requirements. The timing belt requires tensioning about every three thousand miles after the initial routine, and if I recall correctly, it needs to be replaced every 15k miles. It is also used on some of the older serpentine drive belts in other models. Bonus points for anyone who can tell how it is calibrated...

Yes, you insert a banana and see how much it deflects.
