The Making of LIC Motorsports Adjustable Idlers



We thought it would be fun to let you guys in on the making of the LIC Motorsports Adj. Idlers. Often times one never really thinks just how something is made, albeit that it never crosses one's mind, too busy to even think about it, and/or just downright don't even care. Well we know some do care and would be interested; so this article is for you!

I've been in engineering for many years. I think about how everything is made when I look at it I've seen some pretty crazy machinery too. I was working at a place and got to see a lathe cut a 16 FOOT copper flange Just the shavings were humongous! I think it's fun to see that sort of stuff, so thanks!!

Glad you enjoyed it. It's always amazing to me that 75-90% of the material is "waste" but that's what it takes to make a part ;-)
