sprocket shaft spacer

#1

Post by nmaineron »

I'm going to run a BDL primary belt on my 63. Is there a standard spacer that goes between the pulley and main bearing seal and spacer?

The spacers come in many differing lengths and must be chosen to place the front pulley inline with the clutch shell's pulley depending on what mainshaft you have in your transmission. Only upon assembly, alignment, and measurements can any of this be determined.
I also had to enlarge the transmission's mounting plate holes to steer the rear of the tranny to true the belt's run. It's all cut & try.....

Good catch, often ignored.
