Default Belt tensioner broken

Hey people's. I drive a 2003 Wrx and Am hoping someone will be able to help me locate a part. I've gone to change my power steering belt as it is screeching and juddering like mad but have noticed the main tensioner next to alternator has broken and will need replacing but I have looked everywhere and haven't come across anything.. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

So its the air con adjuster you need? As the alternator swivels to adjust that belt. Remove the aircon belt as a temp measure. Or if its the long bolt for the alternator adjuster then some 8mm threaded bar with double nutted will do the job

Sorry late reply.. Only just been able to get back on here.. On closer inspection I have noticed its the actual bracket that holds the top of the adjuster in place that has broken? I didn't realise they was seperate part's. Is this an easy fix or am I say pooped? Lol
