Looks like it's 33/34 mm away from lining up. Here's the thing, I have a policy that says don't buy anything until you figure out how you're gonna sell it. I also have a policy that says don't modify anything until you figure out how you're gonna sell it. These policies are in place due to taking a beating on stuff through many decades. Before I cleaned out a few years ago, I had shelves full of multi-hundred dollar items that were custom and would only work on a certain application (and of course, I was the only one on the planet with that particular application).
What I'm saying is.....try to make this work without altering the blower in any way. I might be thinking about making an adapter that is built like the leaning tower of Pisa. This would move the blower to the front and all you'd have in custom pieces would be the adapter. I don't know how crafty you are, but I could see making one using gaskets for templates for less than 50 dollars (assuming you weld it up yourself or have a mate weld it).PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

Its only about 10 or 11mm lol
what i was thinking is that b&m make a few different size pulleys 6 grove 8,10,12,16 etc etc. If i could get a 10 or 12 grove pulley and run the belt to the front of the pulley it would solve my problem, I could then put the pulley in the lathe and remove the remaining unused groves from the rear of the pulley to tidy it all up again, but what i need to find out is weather the pulleys that have more groves are going to protrude forward and solve my problem or if they will step back leaving me with the same problem, if they protrude forward i will be able to get away with a 10 grove pulley and still run the 6 grove serpentine belt then just machine the groves i am not going to use off.
does this make sense.
now all i need to do is search out who supplies these pulleys and ask for some measurements.

I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
