Has anyone found an idler pulley bolt state side?

[eh?]

Seems like nobody carries one over here, courtesy parts can't get one and mynismo says 8 weeks Has anyone tried using a tensioner stud instead?

Have you tried bringing it into a good hardware supply store and having them match the thread and grade of steel? I would think it could be matched fairly easily and only cost $1.50. Or McMaster-Carr?

Do you have the specs of it?

[cdorhout]

I did that for my RB30 swap. When I relocated the the tensioner I just bought a stud at the hardware store and a different nut/washer for the end.

[eh?]

Unless it was an arp bolt I'm wary of using a store bought bolt on such a critical part. I've got another tensioner stud coming and Ill be trying that.

Try fastenal maybe? I was able to order grade 10.9 hardware through a local specialty place.

Metric's Unlimited,

They are the best for any sort of metric bolt they have everything, let me dig up their site, if you find it on their site, let me know I live near by and could probably drop you one in the mail

What the heck does the 6 on a metric bolt head mean? I don't see that on any grading charts.

Its a type of stainless steel I think (after googling) for example a bolt came up as this.

M5(-8) 6 Stainless Steel A2-70 Low Strength Metric Socket Head Cap Screw Natural Finish

weird as hell how there is no USDM cross reference for that hex bolt.
