Jason - YOUR IN TROUBLE!!!!!!!
1 - Take a look at Charlie's pic of the Brand Spanking New Idler Ratchet.
2 - Look at the area where the hole is located.
3 - Notice it's not laying really flat on that surface he has it laying on (looks like foam).
4 - It's not laying flat because it has a "slight" bend about an inch from the back.
5 - It has a slight bend so it aligns with the angle of the pulley it mounts next to.
6 - If you don't have the bend it'll likely not fit well in your slot at the front, and it will probably bind and bend when you try to push it back into the lock position.
7 - Now you're beginning to see why it costs what it costs.
8 - Now if someone could just post a pic from the top of the Idler so you could see the bend.
(under edit) Gol-dern-it Guys - you're making me hungry with those food pics. It's lunch time here on the left (BLUE) coast so I'm grabbing something to eat.
Hey Charlie - just got this from my son. Been looking for 30 years for one of these instead of that combined version for the 1x8/9 and Quiet Line. I don't have a scanner so I can't send the entire manual to post in the Manual section. It would be an H... of a lot of pics if I tried that way. Notice it even lists the 169 on the cover which didn't happen until 1974.
