As someone who just bought a lot of ARP bolts, I want to answer this, but..... I'm guessing it's an M10 x 1.5 and I don't know about length. I did also just buy one of Cindy's rebuildable TIII tensioners, so I can measure it if someone doesn't answer by the time I get home tonight.
Are you buying from Allen's Fasteners?
Free bump.
I bought one of those from cindy a couple of weeks ago as well. in the process of installing it. but the factory bolt is different on the TIII from reg 2.2 turbos its about 3/8 longer with a deep shoulder. my factory bolt has seen better days. i checked my "folgers coffee can" with no luck. im hoping someone can chime in with a part number. so i can get the right thread pitch and length. i have not heard of "allens fasteners". but ill look in to them.

JACKSON! ANY IDEA?
OK. Here's the info. M10 x 1.5 x 70 mm long.
The bolt I have for the TIII tensioner is not a shoulder bolt, just a straight 15 mm hex head. The tensioner is about 56 mm thick and the bolt, when screwed in to the maximum depth of the hole leaves just over 51 mm. So, I wouldn't try to put a 75 mm bolt in there unless you wanted to use a washer.
Here's pictures:
I like Allen's Fasteners because they sell ARPs in whatever quantity you need. You can buy one single bolt if you needed to. They ship flat rate, so the more you buy the better. I'd avoid selecting USPS right now though, unless you are willing to wait a month for the bolts to arrive.
