Doing the timing belt this weekend and figured I'd get a new tensioner and idler in while its out. Better to go genuine or are there aftermarket ones/different model cars to fit a 1j? Also who stocks it? Cheers

What belt did you get? I'm running a Dayco race belt on the engine I'm building (Gates was waaaay to long a wait) and got a new idler with it. For the tensioner, if you see it fit to replace it, the Toyota is the way to go, I am not aware of any aftermarket tensioners availalbe.

Are you after the Idler pulley or the whole tensioner as well?

I just replaced my pulley only and only 5mm smaller picked up a falcon idler new that fitted. $20 can't beat that. :-)
