Hi All,
I am looking to put encoders onto my dob, and dont quite have the clearence under the scope. Hence I need to setup a pully system and timing belt to allow me to set the encoder to one side and have it tied to the shaft. Hence I need two pully wheels (toothed gears) and a toothed timing belt.
Wheels something like these...

And a belt like this (more or less)...

I originally planned to get these from a remote control car shop.
Anyway I expected the pulley wheels to attach to the centre shaft via a gromet (clamping screw), however this is not the case.
Does anyone know of a better source of wheel which can be easily anchored to the centre shaft, or does anyone know how this sort of wheel is anchored to the centre shaft? Basically is this the right approach?
Thanks in advance
Michael
