Aaron,

Are you talking about the tensioner pully for the water pump belt (spring loaded bracket on the side of the block) or the idler pully for the AC? The spring loaded pully is hard to come by (I recently saw one on Ebay, don't know what happened to it).

Try Stefan Roundy (stefanratbealenet.com). He parts out old XKE's. He may have what you are looking for. Honest guy, he'll tell you exactly what he's got and what condition it's in. NAYYY, just a happy customer.

Try Dan @ Jaguar Heaven 800.969.4524 be very specific about the part and its location and function because, THBOMK, there is an idler pully on the later models for the AC compressor belt. Bearings are available at your local parts store as bearings are pretty much standardized.
