I am in dire need of a belt tensioner (complete) for the Duke.Can only get the pully, not the complete tensioner here in Germany. The tensioner is squeeling like crazy and fraying the belt.I will of course not only pay for the part, but also for super-duper-express-expedited-shipping. :-)
Anyone? Anyone?
Thanks,
\D

About the only place to buy a new one is from Rodney Dickman.
I have one on my engine. It's a nice piece.
-
Steve,
thank you so much..........I had totally forgotten about Rodney and all of his products. Been a while since I had to order anything from him... :-)

You can't really go wrong with Rodney's products.
-
Ordered and on it's way to Germany.But darn shipping cost almost as much as the part. :-)

It seems to have rocketed lately..... Gets even more painful when the parcel goes "missing" at the airport and you have to start again. DR sent me a belt tensioner on the 5th Nov, 150+ not including the import duty .... Got to Heathrow by the 7th and "missing"ever since, seems tracking just helps you find out where it was stolen and that's it. This is going to be an expensive belt tensioner.
Sir Rodney seems to have some sort of royal seal as they always make it and in record time so fingers crossed for you D.

Thnx bro.

Best way to ship anywhere . . .
-
;D
Funny!
I'll keep that in mind.

Did it arrive?
-
Not yet..........tracking no. shows it at German Customs since Tuesday.
-
Hmmm. Customs there is speedy. :D
Not a holiday there, most likely.
-
Is it there yet?
-
According to tracking, still at customs. :-(
-
Customs there must be somewhere other than the top 10.

Customs AND postal service here suck! According to DHL tracking (they take over, if shipped via USPS), part of the German postal service), the package was delivered yesterday. Funny that we don't know anything about that! LOL
According to USPS tracking, the package is still in transit??? ???

Welcome to my world.

Picked up my package from Rodney at the German Customs office today (paid an additional €42.50 in duties/taxes).
Here in Germany, it is not only the price of the item, but they include the shipping costs to the total to then calculate duties. :-(
Well, anyway, it is here now, will be installed tomorrow, so hopefully the Duchess can go joyriding on the weekend!

Glad its there finally. Here I have always taken the dollar value, doubled it, turn the dollar sign to a pound sign and that's about the actual cost including postage and customs. It's probably even less fun when you have previously been able to just go to a parts store and collect!!
-
Don't exaggerate. Not all Fiero parts are available locally.
-
Installed, topped off, burped and in the garage at home!
Anne is happy, which means Don is happy.......... :-)
