Re: Chain Tensioners
Grab some idler sprockets from McMaster (page 959) some U-bolts (many McMaster pages) and some springs (also many McMaster pages). Then, put the idler on the u-bolt, then mount the U-bolt so it goes through a plate of sheet metal, finally put a nut and washer on the end of the u-bolt and squeeze a compression spring between them and the sheet metal. A bad ASCII art diagram follows.
|| || bolt tops and nuts/washer {} {} springs [][][][][] sheet metal \\{}// bottom of bolt and idler top . {} bottom of idler |
