Speed idler

OK, guys.  Jay?  Doing brief tuneup on Kathy's Speed, I see the single idler under the seat seems to be pretty worn.  If it had teeth, they are just nubs now.  And the keeper and tube holder are banged up.  Will one of Terratrike's idlers work?  If so, which one?  Maybe there is an upgrade?  Would John Morciglio make a trike?  Oh, wait!  That's another topic.   Smiley

The description indicates the kit also includes a Musashi-style, floating chain tube holder: http://t-cycle.com/-p-136.html
