Thanks Top Jimmy. My Axel/Shaft is 3/4" diameter so I need ID bore to be 3/4". So if I move to gears where is the best place to pick up an 8mm gear for the motor and a 3/4" gear for the shaft? Also, what drill bit would I use to bore a 3/4" hold in a 5/8" or 1/2" Die cast hub/Floor Flange? I'm assuming I'll have to drill it since no one seems to make one of 3/4" ID bore. |

Here's a flange for a 3/4 OD rod. http://www.mcmaster.com/#structural-framing-floor-flanges/=gr9z9p on the gears, those are large sizes so they'll be pricey. Boston gear or mcmaster carr. |

I like to think I've got pretty good Internet Search skills but how in the world did I miss this site? So They've got my floor flange, kicking. They also have 5/16" pulleys. So if I roll the pulleys the next question comes down to creating a tension-er for the belt system. Where would I even start with this? I'm going to do some searching to see if I can find some example but any Suggestions you guys have would be awesome. What about this tensioner - http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/FENNER-DRIVES-Selfadjusting-tensioner-2ZRT8 |

Think more like sheet metal and make it yourself. look at the alternator bracket on your car for ideas. |

It's not flat on the bottom of the belt but instead jutted. So I would be worried about the outgoing jut hitting an alternator bracket. Also, I just don't have a workshop where I can easily work with Sheet metal. I'll go with the tensioner I posted before and we'll see how it goes. |
