Only thing I really saw with the aluminum tensioner is that the fasteners sunk into it pretty easily & loosened. You needed to use a fat washer (like on a cam or damper) to get enough crush on it. Probably should be using a better alloy. You could CNC a chunk of steel pretty easily for that item...might have been cheaper than casting them.
