WARNING....

we used and offset idler pully in our tracks....so we had less of a foot print to turn on...

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING A OFFSET IDLER OR RISK THE POTENTIAL OF NOT TURNING...WE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY!

To also include on this we actually also had a nub on the side of teh frame toowhich allowed use to have a slight turn on the wall...enough so that we can get off it...it kinda looks like whats below

This allows you to pivot on that point
