Default Looking for a tensioner spring
Hi,
I'm looking for a tensioner spring. Anyone have one for sale? It's for an '87.

Thanks,
Gary

Can you be more Pacific? (yes, I know misspelled)
The one outside the cam belt tensioner that is between the tensioner and the tensioner arm? Does it look like this?

Funny - they list a used spring at $13.00.

That's strange, the price for a new spring was $27 a few days ago. I've already ordered one from 928 intl, but they don't have it in stock so it may be a couple of weeks until I get it. I was hoping to find one available sooner.

Guess the online catalogue is out of date. You might ask them about a used one. They rows and rows of boxes full of used parts.

Default Thanks!
Brent,
The spring arrived in the mail today. Thank you again. I owe you one. If you ever find yourself in Boston, I owe you a beer!

Thanks!
