I ca get a left hand M10 x 1.5 x 25mm cap screw from a local nuts and bolts store for way less than that. You can also get them from ebay for $6.

I was surprised the pulley bearing on the old tensioner was quiet.
It was actually the rubbing pivot point and the tensioner spring that was producing the mechanical chirp.
