Here is an interesting timing belt tensioner made with a torsional spring. This setup seems well suited for smaller belts. The downside is that the tensioner moves with the belt and can't travel over the timing pulley.

Hi,
This is an interesting solution for a timing belt tensioner.
Do you have the specs on the type of spring you are using? I was just looking at all the options they have on the McMaster-Carr web site
It might be a custom spring they are using. Someone like http://www.leespring.com could probably manufacture them pretty cheaply in bulk, or you can make your own with music wire or by modifying a torsion spring.
Thanks :)
Looks like it is the spring from a clothespin.
