Make sure you have somebody who can do the machining. Also, make sure your chain tensioning is good. We had a lot of problems because we did not use screw tensioning or cam tensioning. We did a thing with slots, pulling, and locknuts. Bad plan.

Have you seen these?

We used them this past year, and were nothing but happy with their performance. Not only do they provide easy tensioning by just sliding the blocks in and out, but they only require a drill press for machining.
