Default Putting final touches on the QA42A

I shimmed the gearbox out from it's mounting plate to align the pulleys. I used two washers on top and 5 on the bottom. Then I added a 1"x3"x1/8" spacer on the top and bottom after I filled them into a wedge shape so that the gearbox had flat mounting surfaces.

I also flipped the pulley around to move it as far forward as possible. It lines up well with the top pulley. Pic on right is before shimming.
