Re: spacer or no spacer for plaction wheel
Hey Windell, long time no see/chat! Hope everything is going well with you and your team.

For a spacer for that, the AndyMark one is probably easiest, although you could also use individual ones such as part number 9510A742 from McMaster Carr.

You can also make some even just with basic tools. Cut some out of 1/4" polycarb with some hole saws, and print out a 1:1 scale template to drill the bolt holes. Just try to keep everything as centered as possible so your chain tension isn't affected when the sprocket rotates.
