hiya folks, i'm in middle of upgrading my V2 mirage drive to a GT and noticed that the idler pulley have a bit of slack... between 1/16" to 1/8" between the pulley and the frame.

is this normal? do yours move front and back? am i missing a washer or something?

seems like sand can get into the bearings from the front...

thanks in advance,

Al

2014 would be as good as current in that specification.

I just looked... I see about 1/16 or so gap. Engineers say "not to worry"
