So I have recently just received all the parts for my first build and upon receiving the motor mount and pulley package I discovered that neither the motor mount of the motor pulley fit to the motor properly as SK3 5065 motors must not have standard dimensions.
For the motor mount, I can position the motor in such a way that it can be attached to the motor mount with two of the four bolts. However this does not allow for any belt tightening. For the pulley, the SK3's shaft seems to be 4mm while the pulley attaches to a 6mm shaft. An attachment is included in the motor kit that bumps the shaft size to 6mm but it would mean two of the four set screws on the pulley will be placed on a threaded part of the sharf (not ideal). Also with this set up I am unsure whether the motor pulley and the wheel pulley can be lined up (belt will be angled).
My question is whether this set up would be suitable as an intermediate set up while I sort out something better. If not, I was wondering whether there would be any other way to make it fit. The mount have much room to machine it down. I was also wondering whether an 'adapter' could be machined to make it fit too but don't have any ideas at the moment.
