It's been a while since I've had anything to update.

I started making an idler bracket yesterday, my idler arm is toast and I didn't want to waste money on a stock replacement. I also can't afford to buy the one through Synergy and being in Canada complicates it a bit more as well. I also just like making my own stuff, so here's what I have so far.

just out of curiousity, how does being in Canada complicate it more? just shipping and customs? only reason im asking is because i was thinking about ording it over the winter, and im in canada

Yeah, just the added expense of shipping on an already expensive piece. That and I don't seem to have good luck when I order through Synergy. I've had 2 orders with them and both times there were problems with the shipping for whatever reason. Justin handled it well both times but it's just another barrier that's not worth the hassle. These might ship better though, I don't know.

When I can build it myself for less than 10% of what it would cost me to buy, it just makes the most sense.

Jared, if you need any welding, forming, shop ideas - you let me know.
I work in a metal fabrication shop & am a welder as well, you know that.
It's not a "oh he did this for me now I owe him" BS thing. No, a little tig welding, forming, stock material etc... no worries man. Just cause!

Ok a few beer wouldn't hurt as we shop talk about our blazers etc lol.

Lol thanks for the offer Tom, but I should have access to everything I need. We do need to plan a get together though.
