Upgrading MK2S to MK2.5S X-end question

Yo!
I tried to find answer from older topics but I couldn't find.

So here goes:

When I upgrade MK2S to MK2.5S can I use "X-axis motor end" and "end idler" from MK3S?

Because when I am looking an upgrading manual ( https://manual.prusa3d.com/Guide/3.+E-axis+assembly/1073?lang=en )
Picture shows @Step 49 part that is not included in original MK2.5 or MK2.5S upgrade part packs.

I get that these are probably just re used pictures from MK3(S) manual.
But that tension system looks better so I might as well print those before starting upgrading...
If those fit.

Hope you can help! 😀

And I'll answer my own question. The answer is NO!

End switch needs mounting place. 🙄

I ran across the same issue. Luckily, someone else has already fixed that up for us:

I've been using that on my own printer for a few weeks now, no issues at all. Definitely nice to have the option to change the tension like the MK3!

Good to know, I'm planning on installing this upgrade when I get the MK2.5S Kit 🙂
