Eduardo,
It is just a matter of taking up the space between the 8 mm mounting stud on the engine
and the 10 mm hole in the VW tensioner
Nothing needs to be threaded
I have the VW tensioner mounted on the car so I can't measure the width of the
tensioner where the stud passes through
It might be better to get a tube that is 5/16" or 8 mm and drill the tesioner out to fit.
The tube should be exactly the same length as the tesion is wide.
I will have the tensioner off tomorrow or the next day and will measure it.
But are all VW tensioners the same width?
I like the sound of Bill's tensioner better than the one I got. His has the 8 mm sq hole like the
Mi16 original; mine has 2 tiny holes for some VW special tool I used a bike bottom bracket
adjusting Park tool.

If you send me a drawing of that I can make it in bronze and send it
to you....
Down here there are lots of machine shops making unavaliable parts. Helicoils,
for example, are unheard of. A bronze insert with inside and outside threading
is US$3, custom made while you wait...
