Pics don't blow up on my phone. Appears there was a pretty short bolt in there. Is that correct? If so it doesn't look like you lost too many threads. And if that is the case just get a longer bolt (stock length).
Those were the days.........

but what about the piece that broke off? can I do anything about that? will it affect anything missing that chunk?

does the piece that broke off sit flush with the rest of the tensioner? If so you could probably get by without it until you got a new one. If it sticks out then you could very carefully put some superglue on it and set it in place and hold it until the glue sets and as LJI said earlier get a longer bolt and see how that works. Just take it easy until you get the new one. Hope this helps.

It actually looks like it was loose for sometime, if it wore off the post that was once there

Here's what it did look like and the bolt length

Should be able to get correct bolt and put broken piece on bolt and match the break up and put tensioner on. It's a locator and it won't fall off, be like a tapered washer.

I'd try jb weld on the piece your holding and not get any in the threads and bolt the tensioner on while the jb sets up
Turbo Marauder
That is the correct bolt

JB Weld will fix that. Use the real old school JB Weld, not JB-Qwik. Clean the part extremely well with something like brake kleen, bond the parts together, bolt it up finger tight and let it cure for 24 hours before final torque. That should be a forever fix; I've done much more load-bearing repairs with JB weld and it held.

Thanks for the help. Did the JB weld that has had to sit for like 18 hours to set

Will check my work tomorrow
