Charlie, how did you get the timing belt for the encoder on the spindle?
I bought the spindle pulley with a much smaller bore than desired, then bored it out, holding it in soft jaws.? I first made a stepped gauge to let me know when I was getting close to the right diameter.? To position the spindle pulley, remove the original spindle bearing spacer, and turn two spacers, one for the bearing side of the pulley, and the other for the opposite side.? The outer diameter of these spacers should be the same as the tops of the pulleys.? This causes the spacers themselves to act as flanges to keep the belt on the spindle pulley.? The total length of the spacers plus the pulley width has to be the same as the original pulley so that the pulser disk for the tachometer still fits in between the "legs" of the RPM sensor.? Hopefully the pictures below will make it clear.
