Wondering if you can steer me in the right direction on the reverse box Jim, I've hit a small snag as the spacing between chain drive and TAV belt differs between the engine and reverse box.
It appears that my input shaft to the gearbox has a shouldered section at the end, of about 9mm, which pushes the top TAV pulley out further.

Because of the close proximity of the engine to the chain wheel, I can't just move the engine across, as it will foul the chain.

Thus I think there are three options,
To drill out a short section of the TAV top pulley to fit over the 20mm section of the shaft.
To take the gearbox apart and get the 20mm section turned down to 16mm
Or less likely, put a spacer on the engine end of the TAV drive to push the bottom pulley out the required 9mm, but there's not a lot of shaft anyway, so this seems the least desirable option.

Did you have a similar issue? Or does your set up allow you to move the engine across?
