Avoid the ScanTech brand pullies. I bought all three pulleys, ScanTech brand, a few years ago. The top idler pulley didn't fit, wrong size bolt and bore. The tensioner pulley was machined improperly causing its reinforcing ribs to drag on the tensioner body. After the first two pulleys failed to fit I didn't even try to fit the center idler pulley.
Saab doesn't make parts like this themselves. The challenge is learning which supplier is the OEM supplier. I don't know anything about INA; Febi is owned by Bilstein, a reputable name.
