ECS Tensioner
Does anyone know if the tensioner that comes with the Paxton kit comes off another car or truck or is it made for the kit.
(The one between the balancer and the super charger.)
If it comes off another vehicle what one ?
Thanks in advance

The tensioner itself is a standard H/D NAPA part. The brackets are custom made. I cant divulge the part number though. You'll have to get that from ECS..

The housing is a standard housing, but the spring has been replaced with a custom set up along with the direction of tension. So thats going to be hard to find at the local auto parts store.
If you need one let us know.

WHAT!!!! You guys haven't opened up the nationwide chain of ECS autoparts??
BTW Doug, Maybe I'm thinking about a different tensioner. Do you replace the spring on the 8-rib tensioner assembly? Is it the same one you guys use with your Paxton kits?
