Default aftermarket idlers on radix?
Anyone running them for better belt wrap? If so got any pics and who are they made buy? I am thinking of running a 2.8 or 2.9 pulley and want to be able to eliminate belt slip.

thanks nightrunner I found it on one of Holty's posts and he mentions a spacer being used on the install. Now I need to figure out what thats about. Where to put it, how big it is and where to get it?

hmmm...i don't recall getting a spacer. I remember using the one out of the stock one, but the other didn't need the spacer due to the offset on the stock bracket.

that is correct, but if you switch to Metco's or a similar idler setup you will need 2 spacers.
