Chain idler arms

A question regarding the upgrade to the wider style chain idler arms. Is there any issue with sourcing used arms as long as they have the proper part numbers or should I buy new?

Regards,

Wade

Pre-owned versions should be in good condition. Otherwise, if you have a budget and like new, go for it. There's a big price difference.

Third option might be Supertec tensioner arms.
Priced at 30% of retail and $150 less than the best internet price for factory items.

Anyone know if the supertec idler arms are still available?

I'm building a 79sc and the prices for OEM arms are triple the price of what is noted in Wayne's book.

Everything was stock and motor had about 110kms
