Hey i believe i found one nearby but if it doesnt work out ill get back with you thanks!

i found one in lithuania on ebay, not having any luck on car-part.

Thanks everyone. I just discovered the new iteration of the bracket involves a few different mounting screws that I need to get, along with the newer tensioner style. I tried to helicoil the stripped holes and did not execute it properly... so now im looking for the discontinued part (13086AA012). This engine is in pretty decent shape from what I can tell, has never overheated when ive had it. But I believe you are right, el_freddo that the threads had previously taken a beating. Its the 2 tensioner (not pulley) bolt holes that got stripped. Long story about the failed helicoils... ill spare you the details. Anyhow the dealership didnt seem to understand how to make the new bracket work for this car so I believe Im just going to pursue finding the discontinued part, if that doesn't work Ill look to "modernize". Thanks any tips on this part would be much appreciated.

Hey Everyone I'm looking for the timing tensioner bracket with part code 13086AA012. The part is discontinued by subaru and proving hard to find. Was hoping someone on here may have one for sale. Thanks

Ah I didn't think about using a longer bolt... Thanks!

Hello Everyone I'm new and happy to be here. So I stripped the bolt holes torquing down my tensioner on my 97 legacy to 20 ft/lb(the one where the piston is separate from the pulley). Later I found out that the top end of the torque specs are 19.5... silly me. Im trying to figure out the bolt size to match up with a helicoil. I believe the part number for the bolt is 010508220, but cant find the size specs. Does anyone know? PS - I also just ordered the bracket it attaches to in case the helicoil fails... Thanks everyone, Loop
