Re: Keeping the Belts on the Sprockets

1. obtain makeshift compass (some thin plastic or metal with holes drilled slightly farther apart than the radius of your sprocket).

2. use makeshift compass on suitable material( we used some 1/16 polycarbonate but any plastic thin enough to cut easily and still not fail will work)

3. cut out with jigsaw, bandsaw, scissors, dremel, hacksaw, etc.

4. cut a smaller hole in the disc you now have, glue or screw it into your sprocket so that there is an even ledge around your sprocket.

-Vivek

p.s. works like a charm, we used button head 6-32 bolts.
