They are supposed to work in the metal taigen suspension frames too...I totally forgot about those...When I posted about my mod to the suspension Jarndice told me about them...thing was at the time...I had already solved my problem...and the only place I could locate them was Welsh Dragon.....people say they are good...but I've never ordered from them...mostly because they hardly ever update their site.. a lot of things there is out of stock or something

Not much of an update, but worked a bit on the Idlers.
I drilled out two of the notches in the idler system, dabbed on some two component metal filler and held the idler wheel and pin, in place. Crude, but seems to work. Still need those suspension springs...
