cabrioman 6 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 the only bit you can upgrade is the upper tensioner guide as far as i know as you already have the twin chain ... in the pic you have an early one which are crap the later one is more robust and thicker Link to post Share on other sites
rsweeney 40 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 ok is it as simple as just taking the old tensioner off and replacing it with the later one or would i need to change the tensioner bolt to the later version aswell Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 as far as i know the two bolts are the same will check some part numbers once i get 5 mins .... Link to post Share on other sites
