Can't mount the gear tooth sensors
The new AndyMark gearboxes are different from the 2006 version and I can't seem to figure out how to make the gear tooth sensors fit.

Using 0.75 inch standoffs I can make the board just fit, but it rubs against the gear--unacceptable.

We followed the AndyMark gearbox instructions and the gears look correct, but this year the gear to be sensed is not up against the cover.

Did I miss something simple?

Thanks in advance.
