I just bought a triplet of some 16 tooth, 10mm bore, 11mm wide XL pulleys on fleabay.
And because I need to re-arrange the shaft locking into the bearings by remachining the output bulkhead to put the retaining screws on its end flange on the outside face so I can do a tru-arc ring for positive shaft location, (superglue is too fragile) I will make a new shaft with a 10mm nose for these pulleys. I'll have to assemble it with this to be able to do that however. And as I said last night, that is being a bitch. That will regain some of the spindle speed lost with the existing kits metal pulley, but will require a longer XL belt. I am thinking that because I added 6 teeth to the small pulley, I should add 6 cogs to the belt length too, but a hair over half of the added teeth will not be engaged & that says I need a belt 3 cogs longer. Which is correct? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
