Elevator Idler (1.5)

1.5 hours

I finally got this idler assembly fine tuned so it can move freely.  I just rolled up a piece of 1000 grit sandpaper and chucked it into a drill, and used that to hone the inside of the bushings a little bit so the arm could rotate a little easier.  Then I used six layers of aluminum foil sandwiched between the brackets as a shim to free it up a little more.

I installed the assembly and riveted the front side, but I'm leaving the floor and rear end detached for now.
