aftermarket belt tensioners

Where’d you get it at that price?

so dude on ebay. shot him the offer and he accepted. couldnt pass it up for that price. would an all billet one look nice, absolutely but thats a bunch of money i didnt have to spend. plus ive read about a couple of folks not liking their high dollar ones. if i can get metco to make me a matching pulley ill be all in for about $150

Got a carbon one on the way now Hahahah. If I don’t like that look I’ll sell it and we can try paining the DF one. No pressure; if it doesn’t blend right I’ll paint the whole car.

Ya I’ve seen the pics. Looks mint on your car. Mine is MG though so not sure. I think I’m the sun the lighter carbon might come out. Just don’t want it to be a black hood vs MG.

thanks bro.
id hate to put mine on the scales, im sure im way over that, ha.
i say put it on like it sits and see. worst case is you paint to match and go from there

I just painted mine with engine spray paint then covered it up with the metco support lol

That's always an option too. And some folks swear by the metco brace

I have metco brace. They have a hard plastic bump stomp that the tensioner arm rubs on. Over 3 years the stop is pretty warn so it's working

And here it is. Much beefier that the stocker. Dont know about the spring but it feels tougher to open when installing. It has a nice silver powder coat on it, not sure how I feel about it still. And I just emailed metco to see if the can make me a ribbed 76mm idler pulley to put on there. Literally everyone one of my pulleys on the supercharger belt are metco, would love for them all to match.
Anyway here are the pics

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but did Metco ever get back to you on how to make their tensioner pulley work with their tensioner? I just bought the Roush tensioner and Metco pulley. Bolt is definitely too long.

They said the could make me a pulley, I just haven't taken them up on it yet
