Technical Need help identifying this part

[Larovius]

Hello folks!

I'm helping a friend saving a Tipo 1.6 8v from ending up a pile of rust, and we are constantly finding loose parts (the previous owner just put all loose stuff in the car when my friend got the car), and now we have found a part we can't seem to figure out what it is. So I seek your expertise, FIAT lovers!

Please have a look at the two images I will enclose in this thread.

Thanks in advance.

It's the auxilary belt roler. It is mounted betwen the alternator, and the main pulley on the engine. Actualy, that long bolt is what holds the alternator on the lower end.

Hi,
that sounds right.

I've not had a 1.6, BUT it certainly looks like a roller belt idler,
