I've seen pictures and stories about using the replacement rollers you can buy from about every vendor, that they're not 100% correct as they tend to be a bit taller than stock. Some were having issues after they installed the new ones with parts hitting the motor bolts.

Add to that that I didn't want to drill out my old roller post and have to replace it, not knowing if it's installed as good as the stock one was.

So I was doing a lot of research on here and elsewhere about the problem. I came across some rollers from a local parts supplier that looked close to what all the vette suppliers seem to have.

Here's the part:

The old one:

looking like a stock roller height to me:

There new rollers are pretty tight on the post but I imagine they'll loosen up after some use.

I hope someone finds my information of some use. :thumbsup:
