I am new to the Carvewright family (Christmas Present!). I was in the process of upgrading the belts and on #29 "reassembel squaring plate" it says to place spacers on the left and right but no spacers were included in the package. I did receive spacers but they were all used on other steps.

Are spacers required and if so what is the thickness so I can make my own.

Thank you,

Chris Super

WELCOME!!!! You're gonna have a blast!

I can't help with the upgrade, but if you do a search with quotes around your words -

"upgraded belts", etc., you can find some answers.

I'm also sure you'll get some replies soon.

Welcome, again.

Hi Chris,

I am doing this same belt upgrade (along with a carvetight spindle upgrade). There are two flat washers that I believe are the "spacers". On step 25, did you put the split ring washers on the protruding pins? This seems wrong to me as it keep the tracking sensor plate from lying flush against the squaring plate.

Regards,

Gene
