That's still a little tricky on that clamping gearbox with any adapter plates or anything. If you were trying to use one of the US Digital mini encoders, you're be trying to mount it on the shield of the bearing. (Which I have seen attempted before. I explained that it wasn't likely to work very well).
I think you're down to getting the
VexPro Shifter encoder kit or the
Andymark Encoder package or
Mount Pad and drilling/tapping or gluing to get them attached. If you're using a kit with one of the US digital mini encoders, I'd encourage you to get the
centering tool directly from US digital, so you can make sure the encoder is centered on the shaft.
