Mini Lathe Upgrades

Well... I dropped the motor :doh: :doh:
Thankfully, the only thing I broke was the pulley. Just made a LMS order, got a new pully and the motor mount for the 14" upgraded bed.

Well I deserved that! I didn't really explain myself earlier. What I meant by standard metric belt, was something that I could buy from McMaster Carr. When I needed to replace the belt before, I tried to get a metric replacement. For some reason, none of the metric belts (nor imperial for that matter) would fit. So I imagine that the Chinese lathes were using there own version of a metric belt... and not a 'standard' metric belt.
I did the tapered bearings when I replaced the belt. I also have a metal gear on the spindle (broke the plastic one).
What is the metal rear spacer??

This one Eric....... http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,7643.msg81872.html#msg81872
The original one's plastic. Allowing a little flex, between the bearing tapers, when a fair cut is applied. :(
