Making my list of spares to order :-)
I already boxed up my BD7 but the outside diameter and width mesaurements were the same when I did a quick comparison during the build.

I followed the order of installation per the manual and have all the bearings and shim as told.
The button profile of the Yokomo button head screws are .5mm taller than the ones in the Associated kits. Try using those (or any others with a shorter button profile) in securing the spur and you should free up the binding in the pulley. This was the same issue with the original BD7 when you were trying to use any spur other than a Panaracer (.5mm less reccess in the spurs).
