you got it mate then the tensioner arm will rise to the tensioner an as it wears the arm extends and keeps it tight, clever kwaks!!

Not 100% with ya but dont think you coulda got the bolts the wrong way round? ones not longer than the other is it?

Just had a browse at some pictures and the bolts you are on abou double up for the tensioner and the clutch cable adjuster?

no thats on the tensioner, i have a diffrent tensioner, i can put the tensioner bak on finre and the clutch screw it just doeswnt hold when i pull the clutch, i think it is internal.

you know the clutch cable, it attaches to a large bolt on the left of the tensioner, that just clicks every time i pull the clutchin and then the clutch just becomes loose. i think the tensioner is nackered wont come all the way up, with out me pulling it.
