I need a new SOS idler tension pulley because my bearing failed!

Is there any aftermarket place to source a HIGHER QUALITY version or do I just buy one from SOS?

Does Vortech sell one?

Guess I'm going to be NA for a little longer now....

Paxton is always at least 3-6 weeks behind.... that figure is beginning to make me think their products are really shitty and they work with a skeleton crew.
