1.7 Alternator tensioner.
As above, mine snapped ages ago, I think its time I replaced it. ASAP please, I'm running on the the pivot bolt alone, and not sure how long it'll hold tension for.

Re: 1.7 Alternator tensioner.
It's a piece of threaded metal that runs to an eye. Very simple, couldn't you just make one? Do you want me to make you one next weekend?
Re: 1.7 Alternator tensioner.
Yeah, I guess. I still have the eye somewhere, so just need a bit of threaded bar welded to the end. . .
If I can't find the eye I'll machine one up, and then weld some bar on it. Would you be happy to weld that on lad?

Of course, you might have to chuck bruce a fiver for the gas use if you're ok with that?
