    Hey all,

    Is this part supposed to have some bend in it?

    I know there’s an “upgrade” to the 360 tensioner but there’s a few things that concern me about going that route.. the chain doesn’t ride in the middle of the pad and there’s a lot of spring tension on the ones that were sourced for me on a 355 that had this part fail previous because thr chain went off the side of the pad like it has been known to do on the 348. I do like the beefier support plate on the new style though.

    Thanks for any feedback,

    Sean

    Seems to function properly with this aluminum one I made but I’m curious what others have seen here .. or maybe everyone just goes the 360 route and doesn’t give this another look.
