amazon thinks they can get them because they don't hesitate to cancel your order when they know they are not coming...guess we shall see

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

This may be a worthwhile tactic, I'm sure Amazon gets more attention than our piddly vendors

I have one on order as well. I'm sure we could get 50 orders together if they would eventually deliver?

Amazon just cancelled my order:

"Gates 38374 Belt Tensioner"

We've canceled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. We must also apologize for the length of time it has taken us to reach this conclusion.

The guys that were happy to spend over $500 for a billet  part recently certainly live in a different socio-economic environment than I do. A small billet adapter to fit one from a common current car sounds like the way to go.
