I get asked a lot to do custom one-off work for people. This was a first. I have never seen or herd of a roller idler for a Maverick. Given the odd bushing they have I can understand why. It's not like the Falcon or Mustang. The inside of the arm has a taper to it so it took quite a bit of machine work. I could have either machined the arm or the roller kit. Since I had never done or seen one before, I chose to machine the roller kit so I wouldn't mess up the arm if it didn't work. I had to turn down the (chevy) bearing cups to fit inside the arm, took about an hour. It turned out nice, looks almost stock. Had to share, might be the only one on the planet. And NO ... I won't tell the customer that his Mav. will have GM parts on it.
