Belt Tensioner

[tb3]

I was getting ready to sell one of my spares.  think I'll hold off.
so is the basic theme here so far is that there is currently no belt tensioners available in stock that we know of?

[Steve Wood]

I don't know if one of the places that showed it in stock actually had it, or not.

They have been out of stock everywhere since 2011 most parts stores have removed the part number from their systems. I am willing to bet money any online place advertising doesn't actually have any. Last time highway stars had any they were charging over $300.

I have some ideas for what to use and how to adapt it.  I don't have access to any 3d cad sofrware anymore. I also recently moved to Houston so I don't have any relationships with any fab shops here. But I so know a guy in Indiana who could do the work for me.  I would like to keep the rights to the design so that way someone doesn't start charging 300 for the part.

Yep - I bought them to resell a few - tough shit.

[Steve Wood]

oh, well...I guess they filled Mark's order before mine because they now say they were out of stock-good start for a new amazon vendor 

[Steve Wood]

If they show up on a vendor's site, we will know there was monkey business involved

[SuperSix]

I will keep three, sell two to recoup.

Any vendors signed into the board this morning?

[SuperSix]

Hehe..

Methinks it was a listing error...

[Steve Wood]

probably...it was a new vendor to Azon but it looks like a legit place from their site

[daveismissing]

That link takes me to an amazon direct listing, looks like the one we ordered from yesterday?

[Steve Wood]

Not the same vendor as was showing temporarily out the other day....this was a new vendor when I looked it up...the other one is still saying temporarily out
