Belt tensioner

[earlbrown]

Something doesn't jive. They alerted you to availability but I placed an order for one in August and heard nothing. Sounds like a SNAFU to me.

Hopefully not but we'll see.
"SNAFU", I love that acronym earl, you mean that Amazon could be all f'ed up??? Yup, I would tend to agree.

I'm on their list to email me when it comes in. I didn't receive an email. Luckily I still have a brand new one in the box. I bought two of them at CarQuest last summer when everybody else was already sold out.

With all the cad stuff and 3d printing surprised someone hasn't scanned it and printed it in castable plastic or machine a billet one (cool guy part). Some spring from a common tension I'm sure could be adapted.

They're still perfecting that 3D printing though...

Boy are you uninformed on that! I work in the dental lab industry. 3d printing is huge. There is a company just up the road from where I work. They make printers and software. The precision for the wax models they can print is unbelievable. Check out these videos.

I'm gonna have to agree. My brother's bil is a dentist and he invested in a teeth making one several years back and he said he already is way ahead on that investment.

first off all let me say just how disturbing 3d printing is and its possibilities in making weapons....not just guns...there is mind blowing documentary on it somewhere that will make you puke.
Amazon....the supplier or shop they dealt with likely hasn't got back them that the supply has run dry and now obsolete.

Not seeing the problem in that.

I actually work for Gates and can see about possibly putting together a group buy on these tensioners. We still make them, just smaller production runs.

I think that is a splendid idea--think you will get a great number of takers...
