Offset idler bolts
« on: November 21, 2012, 01:57:58 PM »
I know from searching that XYZer used to make them, but stopped. I'm looking for a source for two of them. Does anyone have a lead on where they can be found?

I am fortunate to be running an XYZer off set bolt in each on two listeroids but nearly as good results can be achieved (reportedily) by drilling the hole slightly larger and by using half a brass bushing shim. Obviously not as good but functional. I beieve there is discussion on this alternate mehod / topic somewhere on the board.

I have two offset bolts. I have a machine shop. I will see what it will take to make a run.

To increase your interest list, Curtis, I will take two when you get into the chips; metal that is. ;D Many thanks, overbore
