a dealer/genuine SAAB item, or will any bolt of right size from auto parts store do. If you will replace with larger size, does that mean that you will have to enlarge the hole that it passes through and re-thread the hole that it threads into.
Since the top bolt [A] of the tensioner is a fixed point and the fulcrum [B] of the tensioner pulley bracket is also a fixed point, I wonder why the bracket between A and B is even necessary. I think the purpose of the bracket is to provide a hook for a tool, and maybe to prevent bending of the top tensioner bolt. The force on the bolt (due to the tensioner) seems to have very small moment arm. I could not see how it could be any smaller as the tensioner is right next to where the bolt screws into.
The good news seems to be...that the bolt is not critical, failure does not leave you stranded?
