Tensioning the belts on all Unisaurs that I've ever seen is the same,
and, like you say, pretty much like those on an automobile ... belt
tension is locked in with a bolt and bracket.

Hey Karl and Leon,
Yes, I was not thinking properly. I had disassembled a '63 Uni and my
working Uni has not been touched (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) and
I can not recall all of the steps involved in removing the belts and
motor. I do not recall a locking bolt but I am sure it existed and
just absent from memory. I hope to refresh that memory this
evening.
