SORRY BUT I HAVENT figured out how to posto pics yet.drill 3.2- 3.5 mm hole through wher e
the original idlers were screwed on .tap out to4mm bolt up making sure u have a washer between idle wheel and hull.i made an aluminium plate to go on the inside of the hull also tapped too 4mm .when longer bolts arrive i will also put a nut on the inside .
