Need Bolt
Hey guys, anyone know the bolt size / specs for the A&A smooth idler adjustment bolt?
I'm concerned running it with that bolt compromised.
Appears mine broke off an I'm missing the nut on the backside to push down during belt adjustment:

I just use a prybar between the spacer and idler bracket to put tension on the belt, that works just fine... I put a piece of an old rag around the end of the bar to keep it from scuffing up anything... I'm sure Andy or Josh could tell you the thread pitch if you give them a call

I agree with Reid, pry bar wrapped up works.
With that said if you have any of the bolt left you can go to your local hardware store and size it up. Get a grade 8 bolt.

Thanks guys- got it square away- apparently I've got an older style bracket so pry bar it is- was just a little leery of prying on that nice shiney bracket
