Part missing in MK2S to MK2.5? Alternate part ok in MM2US?

My printer is a MK2S.

I ordered the MK2.5 upgrade with the MMU2S upgrade.

I plan to do the MK2.5 upgrade first and the MM2US upgrade second.  Will that work?

This part is not in either kit: "Extruder Idler" included (link below)?  Do I have to print it myself?  Is there an alternate part with the MMU2S kit?  It has a part that looks similar and has the same name.

That part is for the basic Mk2.5S, not the MMU2S version

Thanks, Joan.  I reckon the answer is to switch instructions from "MK2S -> MK2.5" to "MK3 -> MMU2S".

I've got the 3d printed parts for MMU2S.  A note could be included for future customers, the MK2.5 + MMU2S upgrade is not MK2.5 first and then MMU2S second.  The upgrades occur at the time.

Ooooohhhh that's interesting, the same post went out three times...
I will remove two copies...

Did you look in the folder that I sent? 
the part I hilighted in Green, is the Bondtech Idler door that you nuud for the MMU2S version of the Mk2.5 Extruder> the other pieces are the extruder top cap, the filament sensor tower, the plug for the extruder body to fill in the ball chamber for the normal filament sensor
the Filament Sensor top cap which appears to be upside down, and the X axis endstop buffer that some people miss out. and wonder why the extruder rattles against the left side of the X axis frame.
