[Bricklin] 1974 Idler Pulley (for Belt Tensioner)

[Alan Coleman]

Thanks Scott.  Checked there and every other parts supplier I could think of
already and no exact match.  The bolts are sold separately and round, not "D"
shaped.  I've already picked up a pulley, and the "round" bolt comes in at the
NAPA store today.  Going to try grinding a practice bolt into a "D" shape and
see how that works.  Plan "B" is to drill out the hole in the bracket so that
it is round. Thanks again.

Rockauto.com has a great selection of parts and usually has pictures. You
could look it up for something like a Javelin and see if the picture matches
your part.

normally use AMC Hornet or Javelin for my cross references.
