I have two Volvo Penta KAD43 in the boat. These two need new circulation pumps and new alternators.
- And all new belts.

Since the belts are off, i am going to replace the tensioner wheels also. Ive been quoted 200 quids from VP. Uorginal 100 quid (in my currency that is)

The same tensioner wheels are used in Scania trucks. The wheels are identical, with diameter 95mm, widht of 32mm and a hole diameter of 10mm. Scania OEM nr.: 1428940.

Anyone tried this? I mean, its the same type of belt, and the belt tensioner is from SKF. And its 40 quids (again, in my currency)
 
Somebody once swore blind they used a tensioner wheel from a Peugeot car of some description to replace the one on a D6 !
