Hi everyone.
just recieved first batch of these idlers back from the hardeners.
This pic was taken next to a new stock nip item.
The idlers are cut from good quality steel and the case hardened for maximum strength and durability,and are a direct replacement for the stock items.
The idlers are machined precisely and to eliminate any possible slop unlike the stock items but do allow for a very smooth running drivetrain.
Bearing fitment involves first greasing holes either side then tapping in bearings with a soft faced mallet or a vice until bearing surface is flush.This ensure there is no play or runout and the gear stays running true.
I have tested theses idlers up to a 5.5t on 3s and all ive managed to break is a driveshaft !!!!!
The price isnt cheap,considering the nylon etc variants available,but you really do get what you pay for here.
Please pm me for more details !!!
Thanks
dave.
