Very nice.

Still didn't hear where the idlers came from or what to look for.

I'm just guessing Ecam...but I think they are Mato Idlers ...in the beginning Frankie says he used the Mato Tensioners...think those are the only ones compatible

Yup...but you have to change out the tracks and sprockets too..The HL tracks and sprockets are a tad narrower...you can still use the tensioner with the HL idler and run all HL if you like though ..........I get mine from MatoMart...a little slow to get here now...think they had a staff change ...I didn't know Forgebear had them or I would probably get them from Him
