Zetec uprated cam belt tensioners
I had these manufactured before I sourced some genuine Focus WRC ones
Designed for the blacktop Zetec
Open to offers
More reliable on high power engines

What is a Ballpark figure on what you'd like please, I'd not like to offend with a stupidly low offer, but as I was going to ask you where you got these done and whether you could get more I'm interested in having these off you. Unless of course you can get more of the WRC ones ?
Thanks,
Spud

There both pulleys with bearings, both the same dimensions, for the same job
I had to machine the bases of the WRC ones to make them line up properly though to fit my engine.
I put the WRC ones on mine because I had them and they looked prettier than the others I am selling

Also worth mentioning that it makes timing the belt up alot easier with these, I've heard a a few failures with the standard ford plastic pullys

I've had alot of interest in these so I will explain a bit more about them
The tensiner is made from a brand new Rover tensioner pulley, these are £50 each before you start.
They have to be modified to get the offset right and have to have a sleeve machined and pressed into the base to accept an M8 bolt, they are designed to accept an M10 as standard. If this is not done it will not locate correctly
By the time I have messed about for 2 hours on a lathe these start to become an expensive item.
The idler pulley is made from a nww ford item which is £30 before you start
I remove the plastic outer pulley and then machine an alloy replacement which is then pressed over the bearing.
Again not cheap
If people are still interested PM me

I would recomend you get CDF Racing to make up a batch of alloy pulleys
The WRC ones I have are EDM machined with loads of holes for lightness
Would cost an arm and a leg to reproduce and they can't be had anymore
