Cheepskate Update (TK ya listening :)

slight mod to the shaft reduce dia to .250 from .260 & trim some of the
shaft ridge off so you can press the roller on another 1/8" so that nut
can screw on to lock the roller in place then this is just about a direct
forveve replacement & its ss
you can go cheaper with steel or nylon
