360 and 550 cam chain tensioners

frogman

'74 CB360, '71 CB450, '75 CB550SS
One of my buddies just got done buying a nice cb550f pretty much complete and all, like I good friend, since I have highspeed I have been looking through things and I happened upon and picture of the cam chain tensioner blade and had a revelation. Looked damn near like the one in my 360. Anyone have some pictures and or measurements of theirs for comparison? I've got one I can measure and compare against.

Ideas guys?
 
I've been led to believe it's the same as the early tensioner that had the re-call.
If you have the correct top mounting it should be useable and shouldn't break as long as adjustment is correct.
Got a pic?
I think 360 should be the same as a 400f as they have similar lower adjuster?
 
What are the dimensions of 550 tensioner?
(mainly length as width can be 'adjusted' ;) )
I'll try and remember to measure a 360 one later.
 
That's what I was wondering I have 2 360 tensioners here, one old one new.
 
If you guys are interested, I have a 400F apart in the garage that I can measure and take pics......
