should be able to help you out with an OEM replacement!


or, our resident pushrod encyclopedia, [MENTION=9404]Paul[/MENTION] may know the threads and pitch from memory and you can just hit fastenal for an off-the-shelf unit

That's a tough one - it's a speciality fastener. As Venom mentioned, it's a large torx headed bolt. I don't know the thread pitch and length off the top of my head, but even finding the correct pitch won't help if you can't find a bolt with the correct round head (either torx or perhaps hex) so you can tighten it down inside the tensioner body itself. Might check ebay to see if someone has an OEM replacement with the bolt included. You can also try threading some bolts into the bracket to find one that fits (at least thread pitch) and then search online for specialty fasteners that might work. WARNING: don't wreck the threads on the bracket.
