Yes AutoZone does have free shipping for us... Too bad they dont seem to have the part I need. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from them and I will be having to ship some of it back, My Supercharger belt wsa too big ( WE figure out after a while trying to locate the correct tool in Germany to get to where we could take the old one off) I will tell you one thing... I can not wait to be back state side where parts come easy, but I sure am gonna miss Bonnie on the Auto Bahn and the look on the Germans Faces as I pass htem in my Big ol American Car
Anyways thanks for all the help and if Anyone knows where I may be able to find a new Bolt for the tensioner let me know.

A bolt huh... I believe I've got a couple laying around. Shipping isn't an issue either.
Let me look tonight.. I owe a couple things being shipped around here and need to get that done.
Please PM me your name/address/phone number for the customs forms.
