I feed off crazy, multiply it and throw it back to you!

One step more....use two of the back side pieces and drill the longer one that holds the pulley to bolt in between them.

May have to cut down the parts a bit, but I like the way you think. (using the factory parts in non-factory application).

The best way to fix the chain tenisioner is to throw that crap in the garbage can
and make one out of a strap of stainless and use a skatebord wheel with berrings,
grind the center out the wheel the width of the chain.Have over 3000 miles on
mine and it still works perfectly.You can go to any sheet metal shop and they will
give or sell a small piece .
