I'm not much of a mechanic, so pardon my inability to properly describe.

My alternator and power steering belts broke at the same time, and when I took it into a shop, they said there was nothing they could do because the tensioner and idler pulleys were missing. Not just the pulleys, but everything completely gone. I never really paid much attention to it before, because it just worked.

It appears as if the person before me just found a belt that fit, and pried it on. I've found one that sort of fits - but it is loose, so it keeps coming off. (49.5" OC)

To fix this properly, I need that hardware. I can't seem to find it anywhere. None of my local junkyards have any montero's or raiders. I was able to find 1 supplier who had one assembly left, brand new...for $1,200.

If anyone has any creative solutions for making this work - ie, a link to an alternator with an adjustable bracket? (mine is fixed) - or if anyone has an old gen 1 trashed motor with the assembly attached, I will gladly pay to have it shipped. (I'm in Colorado, zip code 80501)

Any help at all will be appreciated!! Thank you.
