The bolt uses a 15mm socket so it PROBABLY an M10 bolt size. According to the manual torque the bolt to 34 NM or 40 FTLBS.
I'd buy an M8 M10 and M12.
Hope this helps.

Here's a guy replacing the belt tensioner, it will give you an idea about how far the bolt should stick out the back of the tensioner, my guess 25mm to 30mm

Didn't find the actual bolt size, but I found the bolt.

Enjoy, it's only $1.65, of course shipping to Australia will be 50 dollars and take six months.
Best of Luck.

Thanks for your help - Ive decided to ord the factory replacement parts -
Idler Pulley - This is the pulley on the alternator side of the Water pump - it seems that the idler pulley has an integral threaded stud - not a separate bolt like i thought
Tensioner pulley - The tensioner pulley "screw" has a special retaining washer ....
......so Im safer with the Mopar parts.
If Im wrong on the idler pulley please let me know - but the parts manual has no listing for an "idler pulley bolt"
