Saleen Alt Bracket Broke
Spoke with JDM and they have to get a new one from Saleen...$70 freaking dollars. Oh well... Anyone have any idea what could have caused this? I was thinking the bolt may have been over torqued, but being that all this **** is aluminum I'm very careful about how tight I make stuff.
Last time I took it off was about a month ago when the tensioner pulley separated and trashed the tensioner and belt. I had grease and rubber every where. So I took everything apart to clean it. I know the bracket wasn't like that then since I had to take it off and clean it as well. But ****, I'm pretty confident I didn't crank down on that bolt to cause that.

Well, it's broke all the way through, but that's as far as it's going to go due to the other two bolts. The bad part is that it's taken the alt pulley out of alignment and it's going to be about two weeks before I can get another bracket.

Steeda heavy duty tensioner bracket
Steeda Heavy Duty Belt Tensioner - Billet Pulley - '05-'09
Stop your OEM belt tensioner bracket from bending with Steeda's new Tensioner kit! A major problem with Supercharged applications as the increased belt length and tension puts unwanted stress on the factory tensioner. A real problem is when you kick the clutch and pull the next gear the RPMS suddenly drop.
With the extra rotating mass of the supercharger and weight of all the accessories it will jerk the belt and sometimes hurt your OEM tensioner. It causes it to flex and in the end you usually end up with broken belts that are hard to find and expensive. A great fix for all blown Roush, Saleen and other bolt on supercharger applications. Kit is available with a factory pulley or an optional billet one.
