Chain tensioner

I see that other venders sell the pressure fed set much lower than our host. Are these the real deal or are these made in you know where.

Those are good questions. I suspect that there are fluctuations in supply and demand. Perhaps Pelican bought high and perhaps now other markets or after market knock-offs exist.

Many times Pelican will offer two or more options.

LOL....you aren't supposed to post this kind of question. Right in the middle of building my brakes I discovered that the exact same brand rotors could be had elsewhere for something like 60% off (or some ridiculous number) and my post was quickly edited for me and everyone stopped contributing to the thread. Was a nice warm welcome.

Type out a link to ********* and see what happens... :roflmao:

Lots of people (myself included) have had problems with the aftermarket pressure fed, it seems that the originals were installed have a heartier cage. I recommend that you scour the used part ads and find a used stock set.

A used set may be your best option. I read that the OE tensioners are NLA, IIRC?

My tensioners in this thread are OE and the cages are very flimsy. See post #37 here Carrera tensioner questions
