[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 113454, member: 60"] Over the last years when you could still get cams by Garry stellighted he was not bothering with followers and everyone just bought new. Who does cams now? I dont know, I guess thats get new as well, certainly keep the wheels, its not to hard to fit cams to them. To be controversial I dont think there was much wrong with alloy idlers so long as they were changed before the rot set in and the oil kept fresh, but in the dark days of the sixties they got a bit over used. My take is that if we had always used steel idlers and some bright spark invented alloyones now, the racers would queue up for them! You would be hard pushed to find a new one now,,, [/QUOTE]
