Don't think these will work for a V2 because of the difference in the upper bearing structure. Maybe someone can come up with an alternative solution to adjust the new structure without putting too much of a load on the front where the melamine is thinner.

You are correct. I didn't consider that you had a version 2. I haven't seen the V2 and I haven't seen any tensioners for it yet.
