Viel upgrade

[Ordener]

Hey guys, I thought I would share an upgrade I just did on my Viel 1x42. I’ve always had a little trouble with the belt tracking on the Viel. The two screws on the top of the mast arm work fine for controlling the top of the idler pulley yoke, but there’s nothing to control the bottom of the yoke from flopping around inside the tube. So I decided to drill and tap two additional holes down 2 1/2” from the top of the tube. Now the belts track perfectly every time, because the yoke is now held in a perfect upright position. And of course you can still remove and install the belts easily. I’ll send pictures if I can figure out how to attach them.
