EricH,
Keep in mind that the shaft under the tensioner has to rotate unconstrained to the idler. I think I will try to have the bore made oversize though. Having tried to get some .374 ID spacers on that shaft earlier today, I don't think I'll make the same mistake twice...
I got to talk with Mr. Flowers briefly last year. I told him that I had wanted to be part of FIRST since about 1980. It was nearly a quarter-century later when my son entered high school and I joined the TechnoKats as a mentor. - Alan Anderson [more]
