Default Yay got the secondary tensioners changed out!

Just got Princess back, I asked to have the old tensioners back, they were cracked at the usual place below the notch. I got the metal ones off ebay 139. To have the shop put them in was ~700 total, it took him about 4 hours to do it. Should be good to go for a while.

I don't have the room to do it at my apartment and it's my only car so not much of a choice. Otherwise no problems. I don't mean to harp on this from my other post but Hovak is great!

Nice going! Sure feels good, doesn't it? That's a lovely picture of your car. Is is silver, just bathed in a blue light that gives it that shade? Great shot.

One of the plastic end pieces on mine broke off and the chain was rubbing against the metal that is under the plastic cover. Cracks were also present on both tensioners. Pretty sorry design. I was told they are on the 3rd updated part.

I thought we only had three generations. Don't tell me there is another update after I just replaced the second generation with the third generation?
