Title: Chain Tensioner Prototype
Post by: mastershake on August 30, 2014, 08:33:24 PM
Here's a little something I've been working on over the last couple of days on my lunch break. I got tired of my stock plates tearing up my swing arm.

Wouldn't you want to secure it both at the bottom *and* top like the Corsair plates?

Yes, I saw those, very cool! I'm not very skilled on the end mill yet and the CNC at my machine shop has been down for awhile. It's just a prototype and a quick fix for the time being.
