Default Fenner Taper Lock Pulleys

CS,
Are the pulleys so far offset that they can not be reversed on the
shafts thus having the clamping and lock fasteners outside?

If this would prevent aligning the sheaves, can you side the prime mover
to make alignment possible?

If that is not practical, can you replace either shaft with a longer
version?

One shaft is 35mm long x 1 inch and the taper lock pulley is 60mm wide
overall and the taper lock part is 38mm - so fits almost exactly on
the shaft and unable to tun round. The other shaft is 60mm long, so
should be possible to turn round and fit the other way.


Thanks - one shaft is long enough to turn TLP round, the other is not
and shaft cannot be changed. I think using as a bored pulley held on
by machine screw will be OK.
