164/Fiat 124 tensioner bearing

["Thad Kirk" <thadkirk@domain.elided>]

I replaced the serpentine tensioner bearing in my 164 with a timing belt 
tensioner bearing from a Fiat 124 spider. The Fiat bearing has the same 
outer dimensions. The center hole is larger than the Alfa part. I used the 
Fiat 'shouldered' washer to center it. It required me to enlarge the opening 
of the Fiat washer just slightly.  I then fit the Alfa centering piece into 
the Fiat washer. This way the bearing is positioned properly.  Works like a 
charm and only about $20!!! Call Bruce's to get the Fiat washer and bearing.
