Restored om617 and om616 alternator tensioner bracket as shown. The threads have been checked for smooth operation and have had taps ran through them to clean the threads. The bracket has been thoroughly cleaned and then re-painted satin black. The adjustment nut has been tested for proper operation.
Hardware is NOT included with this bracket other than the tensioner adjustment nut shown in the left side of the photograph. However, I do have a brand new tensioner bolt available here:

Also, if required, I have all of the various nuts/bolts/spacers/washers available, if yours are missing or damaged (inquire if you need any of these pieces). The 2-3" long spacer is a mandatory item to prevent the bracket from bendingand if yours is missing you will need one so you do not break your new bracket (inquire if needed).
RUSH SERVICE AVAILABLE:
If you're in a super big hurry, I do offer overnight delivery as well as emergency same day delivery (7-days a week, 365 days a year) is also available, though very expensive. Same day courier service available within southern California, though it's not super cheap.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
Installation is not as simple or as easy it may seem. This is why DIY/backyard mechanics and even professional mechanics (who are not familiar with these cars) will bend/break the tensioner bolts and brackets. There is NO NEED to force or bend the tab next to the adjustment nut when you install the alternator. Simply loosen your tensioner bolt all the way (not included in this listing, but available from this seller for purchase separately), back out the tensioner bolt completely, then tilt the tensioner screw upward at a 45 degree angle, move it back slightly and you can remove it with ease.
To install your alternator, make sure you have a large diameter washer behind the tensioner screw on both sides of the bracket, then slide your alternator into the bracket, then partially insert the tensioner bolt with the thin section pointed at about the 11:00 position, then insert the spacer nut between the alternator and the bracket (which you should have from your old bracket --- if not I have some for sale) and then slide the rest of the tensioner bolt through the bracket. Insert a wide washer on the back of the bracket along with a wavy lock washer and nut, but keep them loosely threaded on. Do not tighten all the way at this point. With the other long bolt loosely threaded into the engine block bracket, and alternator inserted, then carefully (and slowly start the threads by hand into the tensioner bracket until a few threads grab. Now you can put your alternator belt(s) back on and tension them accordingly. You should not have to force the belts on or force the tensioner adjustment if you keep the hardware loose. Only fully tighten the hardware once the belt is tensioned. NOTE: the belt CANNOT be tensioned with the alternator bracket hardware tight! Leave the hardware a bit loose and then get the proper belt tension. Only when proper belt tension is obtained do you tighten down all the nuts/bolts. If you fail to do this step, it will cause your tensioner bolt to bend and/or the threads to strip! It is also a good idea to re-check the tension of the alternator belt after about 150-200 miles of installation and then repeating the loosen/tighten sequence again if necessary.
