Graham, are you trying to exceed my overly lengthy restoration log? ;)

Terrific work. I am always so impressed by your attention to detail! Your engine is going to be quieter mechanically than late model Honda automotive engines are. Just beautiful!

You set high targets! :-)

I just enjoy getting in to these details and 'rescuing' parts, if possible. So much usable stuff is thrown away in the pursuit of perfection and the 'perfection' that's achieved isn't all that perfect anyway.....

I thought I'd got this idea with the primary tensioner wheel worked out but a mistake crept in with my conversion to / from metric with the imperial bearings. As a result my centre pin will not fit inside the bearing.... :-(

All is not lost but it's back to the drawing board for now.......

If you can get this figured you will be of great help.
There are plenty of these wheels out there.
Stay on it G. .............lm

Thanks for the encouragement. Everything is possible, but I was hoping to come up with a method without major machining of replacement parts so that anybody with some hand tools could swap the parts out.

My inspiration usually comes when I wake up at 3am......
