Hi all had a bit of spare time on my hands so I decided to have a go at making a chain tensioner .
Well just finished making one .Take a look at it
The difference is that the one that I have made will not fall off as it will be bolted on with a small nut/bolt

Hi Chas, Like normal you have done a good mod.
ps please can you look at your spares section.
thanks
Lance
Thats spot on Chas, looks really good, I reckon you can sell a few of them
Retro Andy.
Chas - if possible , could you make a few of those clip conversions and sell via your section on this site ? As Plod says the standard clips are getting to be a real pain and I could use a few of those myself !
Email me if there's any snags mate 8)
Hi there Karl the clips that fit my tensioner will not fit the original tensioner . But I wll work on one ...
Top job Chas are you going to make a stock and sell them ?
Hi there Marty just started to make a few ,will put some on the site when finished ...Chas
Hi there all just finished making a few ...
The difference with the ones that I have made to the original ones .
Is first of all they are made from aluminum so they are lighter
Also the problem with the original ones is that they have plastic parts that come off and get lost
So I decided to make them so that nothing could fall off so once fitted they would stay on .
Also made the tension tighter so if the chain has stretched it will still work ...(up to a point)
