I recently bought a new tensioner bearing/pulley from one of the well known Lotus part vendors in the US (very good guys...). It's $88 bucks from them, or you can buy the same exact bearing on RockAuto for $23 bucks. It's the same Flennor bearing number FS03299 (fits a Ford Transit Van) from either place.

Yup, I just bought a Flennor bearing from JAE, it's a good quality German bearing. Wish I had known about the rock auto deal, it's definitely cheaper.

Is there a running parts reference spreadsheet we can add this to?

Yes, in the TurboEsprit List files section, on Yahoo.


I updated the Excel spread sheet but have not yet replaced the old chart with the updated one.

I clicked the provided link to the Rockauto site, but they didn't seem to have the part in stock :shrug:. It simply says, "No parts for this category."

Back in stock

I just used the link to grab the Flennor bearing, they showed 2 in stock with a warning that it was ":UK:for EU market vehicles"

Never mind

Rockauto allowed me to order the bearing, but today I have an email that states:

Unfortunately, Flennor timing belt tensioner part# FS03299 is out of stock and does not have an estimated availability date.
