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?

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

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

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.

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