2003 fiesta 1.4 diesel alternator issue

Hi, a little while ago i took the alternator out of my 2003 1.4 fiesta diesel and have only just got round to putting a new one in but Im pretty sure im missing a part and cannot find it anywhere so just need to order a new one but have no idea what its called or anything. 

It attaches to the alternator and was fixed in by a long bolt that is also now missing. It fits towards to bottom of the alternator and the bolt goes through it and then fixes the alternator in place. its some kind of tensioner pulley. 

highlighted in the picture!!

Does anybody have a clue what it could be called? part number? or if all else fails somewhere I can buy a whole kit because I cant even find that anywhere, I need to get it done soon as my other car will be going to the scrapyard soon!!

 

Thanks in advance!

    Is it the drivebelt idler pulley. One of the alternator bolts is shared with the auxiliary drivebelt idler pulleys.

    that must be it, the bolt goes through the pulley and the alternator. Have you got any ideas where i might get one? including the bolt?

    That one is the idle pulley on the alternator.

    Try carparts4less.co.uk

    They have two part no for the idle pulley for about £30

    326545560 for cars without air conditioning. Pulley is 51mm dia.

    You will need a long bolt. You might need to measure it and see what size it needs to be.
