Try hmc-international.com. It's called Kritkit. I haven't ordered one yet but I researched the thing and it seems legit.

It works quite well. Try Blaszak Precision for the procedure and source.

Here's another option... The "Opti Tool" I won't speak to the difference between it, the P9201, and the Kricket... Markus like to ddo that too much

"This German tool can now be purchased from Blaszak Precision Motorsports for $49.40 US plus shipping and handling."

Good Luck!

Actually Blatzack sells a different brand of tensioning tool but it is very similar to the kricket. The kricket is cheesy and you will have to make several readings but overall I was satisfied with using it. However, The next time I do belts I am going to rent the "Real" Tensioning guage from Pelican and check the accuracy of the Kricket.

I bought a small Kriket for the 944, and gave it to my mechanic. His day job is a mechanic on large trucks etc. (hence his familiarity with oil cooler problems). He played with it on a couple of the trucks he was working on, and reported back that is was in fact accurate.
