Unsure if there's an aftermarket part for this item, or if I need to keep an eye out for part trucks, or if I need to craft the part myself... I attached a picture for reference - What's the best way to find this part? I don't need the entire alternator bracket tensioner, just the hose attachment. Thanks in advance.

Those are the sorta stuff I always go to the wreckin yard for, they lasted longer than the chiacom replacement will.

Interesting, strangely my truck never had it in my ownership. So it is a factory hose bracket, makes sense.

And speaking of alternator tensioner, is there a tool perhaps to set alternator belt tension? Power steering pump and vacuum pump have square holes for a lever to use to set their belt tension, but alternator doesn't. Thus asking is there something maybe should be but not in place on my truck

When that broke on my truck I wrapped an old section of hose around the heater hose to protect the heater hose and then wire tied the whole thing to the alternator bracket to keep it from flopping around. It has been that way for 10+ years.
