Locating Tensioner

So for my 1987 GXL 13b,where the really long tension bolt goes for the A/C, directly where it screws in to tighten up the v belt got stripped out, anyone have a idea of a place where I can buy that or the WHOLE tensioner setup. Please and thank you.

I may be able to come up with one for you. Do you need ONLY the super long threaded bolt, or do you need the other metal chunk that the bolt threads into and that the bearing/pulley sits on too?

I can sell you the bolt with the metal chunk and bearing/pulley if you still need it.

you probably learned by now you have to loosen the nut on the tensioner itself before you start messing with the tensioner bolt, but usually the head snaps off before it strips- that is how I learned the first time I messed with it, lol

You never know man, I might ship him out a "bad" bolt, withdraw all the money left over after shipping and paypal fees, and go blow the whole 6 dollars on hookers and blow at the casino. You can't be too careful these days.

You laugh, but all BS aside, people from this forum used to do that to me. I literally once had some forum member call me at like 3:45 AM. When I later asked what he was thinking, he said that he "saw I was online on the forum" and thought it would be okay. I guess your browser leaves you logged in for a while unless you actually close the page, I hadn't been on the computer in an hour. Stuff like that is why I've become so jaded and sometimes even an a$$hole to other people who get on my nerves. The way I see it, if you're too dumb to use common sense, then I'm too dumb to treat you with basic respect, and we can have a competition to see who is dumber.
