1.7 Alternator tensioner.

Post by jon-ovlov »

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. :lol:

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?

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?
