[quote=NormK]Hi Nick
What about a 10/15 or 20mm disc and just use that as a spacer between the spindle and the blade carrier, that should be pretty simple and not too difficult to make?[/quote]


Hi Norm,

Hope you're well.

Yes, but as we discussed originally the tricky thing is incorporating that raised central 'knob' area of the spindle, which is without being a physics expert responsible for a lot of the heavy work keeping the disc carrier on. Yeah there's the three bolts but I reckon they aren't as important as this ~30mm wide bit.

So the hard thing is having one side of the spacer that will essentially be 'female' and allow that from the spindle into it, but then you'd also have to have a 'male' side of the spacer, where there'd be a raised 'knob' of the right size to go into the blade carrier. Thats the hard part - as drilling the holes and getting longer bolts is easy.

Not sure if I'm missing an easy work around on that - as I'd just go and get a piece of mild steel fromt he local metal mart & knock up if I felt I could replicate that central hub/knob in some manner, but not sure how I would do this as it seems pretty mandatory to replicate - unless the bults alone are fine? Not sure if I can get away with just those, just basic 10mm thick ones I believe.
