I recall something about him being sold out but more are on the way. Maybe he just took it down for the time-being so people wouldn't order it? (although if that's the case, I think a simple "currently out of stock" would be better...)

Got an answer from Bruce. Knowing his reputation on this board and others I'll just say it's a good answer.

I spoke with Bruce a little a few weeks ago and inquired about the cam belt tool also. I dont want to spoil anything or start rumors, but like Scott said..be patient and it will be worth while.

Hi guys... Must not get expectations too high but I have a new tensioner tester design that is looking good. Its different than what we've seen before. It has a guage like the 9201 and a nice accurate movement but the real idea of it is that you attach it to the engine, then begin setting the belt tension while watching the guage, when you hit the mark (measured in .001"), you're done. No more adjust tension, test tension, adjust, test.... Will only need access via the top belt cover and won't need torque wrench. Cam belt adapter mounts to the upper seperation bar stud. Balance belt adapter is a spring-loaded version of my earlier design. Both will come with calibration bars. I only have a couple of prototypes right now and have only done some early accuracy tests on the cam belt part of it, so it is really too early to get excited (but I am anyway). Not sure I can have it ready in a month. I might be getting ahead of myself but thinking I might work a deal with a few beta testers. Target price is $100 for RL members.
Geez I sure hope I don't get banned for talking about this...

Sign me up for the Beta test. My motor is coming out in a week or so and will need to refresh whatever I use for it's replacement.

Do you need a 4th beta tester? I need to retension my belts in a few weeks.

Sweet! Bruce, thanks for your continued work for our cars!

I was going to order your tools this month (I was going to ask what happened to the laminated cards), so I'd be happy and willing to beta test. I'm a complete noob to belt changes too, so I'd also be willing to help with instructions, proof-reading, pictures, etc.
