I need that alternator belt adjuster immediately. Anyone nearby have one i could even borrow if not buy? Or if anyone else has one, I would pay for overnight shipping.. of course, i'm sure it cant happen till monday.. But if possible can someone let me know? It's the two threaded rods with the piece they go into.. the one on my daily driver, i just looked down there because my belt squeels for a few seconds at startup,, and it sheared right off one side, and is just staying on because its pressured against the AC!! I have to drive it like this today.. and if possible if anyone in the new england area has one.. I would drive to come get it tomrorow because i have to go drive like 4 hours on monday!!

Please, if anyone has one.. let me know! I'll even rent one!

Well, i'll know tonight if it's still this urgent, i'm going to sears, lowes, and if i have to, home depot, to find a turnbuckle about that size.

Similar problem happend to me. What actually happened is when i was tying to adjust the tension to make it tighter. The bolt stud snapped right off as i twisted it (didnt hit it with enough PB Blaster i guess). I was in a bind because i was at my fathers garage, needed to get back on the road to get back to school. It was sunday and the dealer was closed. I ended up taking it over to my fathers friend next door, he welded the bolt back to the rest of the strut. Ive been meaning to buy a replacement, but this has held up fine for the last 3 months. If you have access to doing this, give it a shot.

Hmm thanks for the info... I can have my dad weld it together probably tomorrow if I can't get anything..

I have but I can't overnight it to you until Monday.
If that is ok let me know I can send it out first thing Monday A.M.

I have a couple also (the perks of V8 conversions) however I fell it may cost mpore to post than it's worth. If you weld it up it WILL hold, mine is a welded one although I use a tig so there's less thread damage.

I have one also...If you still need it.

Got a used one here for free(works good- but needs a good WD-40 soak). U pay shipping today- drive tomorrow. Reply with vitals, please.

My original snappet at the eyebolt in the thead- I had it TIG welded, but now have it as a spare- Drop me PM if you want it Devon.

I had one welded, it didn't last long. Buy a new one, they aren't much.

Exactly why I keep it as a spare. The stress these parts get in freeze cycles is rough on them- Mine snapped in 10F in December.

Hey thanks for the help guys.. My dad just welded it.. i'll look into maybe getting a non broken one for a spare anyway.. maybe i'll PM some of you on here that replied...

Thanks for the help. I didn't know you could weld that piece, wouldn't have tried before.
