I'd say yes. Except noone really wants to leave the HL idler attachment system because no tensioner is there. And when you go for something else the idlers may be a problem. They have a self tapper and the bearing is 5mm so good luck making a firm setup.

Hi it can depend on the offset of the sprocket some may need a different gearbox longer or shorter shafts.

Thanks for all the responses fellas! I should be more specific, these will be mounting on a HL Tiger 1 with HL steel gearboxes, hopefully without too many issues. I do enjoy tinkering with these things to make them work!

Good, I think I know many answers to questions you are not yet aware of.

First what are gonna do with the idlers?

I have the Mato metal idlers as well. Awaiting the steel gearboxes before I make this change.
