Re: less reliable in V6, timing belt tensioner or pulley?

It is three pulleys all together. One lower and upper idler pulley and the tensioner pulley.
All three can be replaced seperatly and the two idler pulleys are identical and not that expensive.
The problem is the intricate tensioner pulley that have not shown up yet in any aftermarket sources even though it have its specific SKF (or equivelant)part number.
I'm hoping that someone will find a back door to the source so that even the tensioner pulley can be bought for a lesser price than the whole bracket/pulley design.
The tensioner pulley have failed just as many times as the two idler pulleys so you are not safe by just replacing the inexpensive idler pulleys alone.
The aluminum backing plate is sturdy enough to stay on the car if only the tensioner pulley could be found.
The pictures is of a failed tensioner pulley.
