Robbie-
You can make a tool to hold the two-holer. (I made one out of a =
piece of
1/4 X 1" aluminum strap and two machine screws) Or buy one.
But I'm sure someone here (Cheap?) has a down-and-dirty way of doing =
it.

Hey all,
I just got the tensioner off my '83 8v, only to find that it does =
not
match the new one I have waiting. The old one has a big nut on it so =
you
can tighten it, the new one just has two little holes where the nut =
should
be. Do you need a special tool to tension the new ones or something!?
Looking at pics from adirondack and gprparts.com the all have the two =
hole
design. What do I do? Please help I need to get back on the road! =
Thanks
in advance-
Rob
