Oke, here is the drawing. I think it's pretty clear of how to make this. Make your own desired bore-spacing (15-18mm) between holes

This form of adjustment could be cut out of a bar of decent aluminum rectangular stock with a router table and a carbide dual flute router bit.
Then it could be sliced into the proper thickness with a miter saw. Then the slices could be drilled on a simple jig clamped to a drill press.
Can we assume the standard Suzuki aluminum outer piece is consistent enough in its dimensions, enough so to make up a cheap fix kit that a member could just buy outright for $35 bucks?

You got it and yes we can assume that the housing is consistent since it is mass produced. Just slide it into the fork (maybe shim it),bolt it thight and mount hole assembly back in place.

Dam, gotta change my concept.
Good going Vtail. You might concider making it a sandwich, Al. block on top side and Thin steel plate on the bottom. This way, if you want to use the stock config, all you need is a washer. And a jam nut on top, you'll never worry about this coming apart.

Now we are thinking.
Another option; out of a strip of mildsteel cut 2 pieces and bend each piece 90 degrees followed immediately by another 90 degrees in the origional direction. Kind of look like a S. Now put together like a Y shape. How simpler can we get? When I got to the USA in '65 ( born in Holland) one of the first things I learned was KISS (keep it simple stupid).Got drawing but forgot camera. I'll post it tommorrow.

I think what you are referring to is a 'z' bend. There should be plenty of clearance on the backside of the adjuster for the added material.

My brain won't quit. Help! Here's another one.
Take a strip of mild steel, heat small area with torch and bend in nice tight 180 degree U shape. Cut to size,drill holes so it'll fit over the housing mount. Weld on extension to bottom of the U so it becomes Y. Drill hole in desired spot and mount. Material $0.10 + welding

I was thinking that a single "Z" bar would work to mount the cylinder of the tensioner on. Just bend it so it goes behind the mounting hole in the cylinder and throw a bolt in. Then mount the other end at the regular spot in the engine using the "c" clip. The only hard part would be getting two 90 degree bends that close together. Still wouldn't be too hard with a torch, hammer and drill press. Could even make one out of a block of aluminum.

You got it
. Single of slightly thicker steel would work.

THink that will work, also the next design, with the steel strips bent into a "Z" shape. Wonder why Norbert from the German forum has not thought about that and designed such a complicated mod. as I have installed now.

Kropachek did you see the pictures? Check the U shape (out of mild steel) on the bottom. I does require the tab to be welded to the bottom of the U to form a Y. The German solution is beautifull and I give him credit for doing such a nice job, but it is complex. He also e-mailed me right away with more info. Also there's the possibility that the screw in the slotted space on bottom of the scissor-system loosens up. 't allerbeste
