Cheepskate Update (TK ya listening :) http://www.crlaurence.com/ProductPages/D/D1693_8985.html 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 my freebe http://members.shaw.ca/trclark/vwvan/P4080018.JPG
