LT5 belt tensioner

[mgbrv8]

I was wondering if anyone had a Used , damaged or playing broken tensioners that they would want to donate or sell cheap I want to take them apart and see if they are rebuildable. I don't know if any of you have followed some of my posts but I like to repair things instead of replacing them. And we are kind of in a pickle when it comes to the belt tensioner's. The supply of them are diminishing and our cars are so few the market may not make any replacements so if I can figure out how to rebuild it so everyone can then that will be great for all of us. I'm also curious about stories of peoples tensioners that have failed and what exactly happened.
