alternator tensioner

Post by DaveM89 »

hi guys. My belt started squealing today, had a look and it seems some of the alternator tensioner mechanism is missing as the bolt is hanging down dangerously close to the belt! :?
I think the adjusting lock bolt has gone. Anyone know of any alternator tensioners for sale or somewhere to get them from? cheers, dave

That would be fantastic thanks! Im not entirely sure whats missing, im new to the mr2 world! ive found a diagram (unfortunately cant post the link as I haven't done enough posts yet!) and I think im missing the adjusting lock bolt and the pivot bolt?
All I can see from having a quick look is the long adjustment bolt attached to the alternator, but is hanging down in the wrong position, but however does seem to have the plate the adjusting lock bolt goes through!
Hope this isn't too confusing and helps!

Bit of an update, I've had a look today and I'm missing the bottom pivot bolt and the adjusting lock bolt! Worrying that the bottom pivot bolt hasn't been fitted?!
Just wandering if anyone has either of these and how much they'd want for them?
Thanks for the help
