The connection betwen the gear box shaft and the
drive sprocket is made with a
shaft adapter. This consisted of a slotted 12mm diameter mild steel
tube which slides over the
gear box
shaft and the sprocket shaft. The adapter
was held by two 'U' shaped cable clamps. Early on in the project I used an aluminium shaft
adapter however it slipped too much when driving along so I replaced it with a steel one.
The position indicating resistor is connected to the drive sprocket by a length of PVC tubing. The tubing is held in place with two hose calmps and prevents any flex within the drive shaft from exerting force upon the position indicating resistor.
