UK source for idlers?

I have just received a set of idlers from an ebay shop - and can’t get them to fit in the trucks.

Their height is 14.04mm and the cavity in the truck is measuring at 13.83mm.

To any uk builders…where did you order your idlers from?

I put a list of links to my sourced equipment here LR build in the UK

You need to edit your links, your links for the drive pulleys and idler pulleys are the same, they both go to the drive pulleys.

Yes, the links may need updating as I ordered these in 2024, but you should be able to just search for the correct decription in Amazon. Most will be still available.

“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.”
Jerome K. Jerome

This is my source of UK idlers. And possibly my spiritual mentor. Three Men in a Boat had a profound impact on me as a young man…

Oh, wrong idlers. Sorry…
