Rich,
I'll defientely keep those interested posted as to what works and what
doesn't. Right now I've got a double-roller and tensioner at home just
waiting to be put on. So, Saturday we'll find out if it works. What I'm
going to do before then is take a pic of the tensioner and let you all take
a look at it. But, I won't be able to do that til tomorrow. And, if you
haven't been following the thread....I'm going to attempt a how-to for Jon
to put on his website. Should contain some good pics.
