Definitely a nice piece...I'll probably pick one up at some point since I essentially rounded out the square hole in the one I have now

Put a torque wrench in that square hole and apply 25 lb-ft of torque then tighten the locking bolt on the back.

Thanks for the feedback guys. This is the first time we've ever offered different color anodizing and I think they turned out great!

I have this annoying squeak from under the hood. Do you think it is
the pulley and tensioner? If it is i'd like to buy one.

Mine was sqeaking like a champ when I found the idler pulley bolt to be loose. Tightened it up and it's perfect. It's worth a shot....


That tensioner looks awesome! I HATE having to use the bolt to turn it while I remove my belt, the damn belt/ratchet always get hung up in a stalemate. Makes me go insane-o......

It could be the idler or AC tensioner also. Try to isolate the noise. To do that, I spray WD40 on each idler individually with the engine running. When the noise goes away, you've found the squeaker.
