From what I could tell eyeballing and spinning it, it looked perfect. After welding it all the way around and putting it on and starting it up, I can't see even the slightest wobble in it.As for the sleeve, I thought about that. I couldn't find a pulley anywhere that would handle three belts like the one I needed, and the one I had required tapered split shims with set screws to hold the shims into the pulley, and that would fit a larger shaft. The pulley itself was tapered, so I had no way of using the shims on a sleeve.I also didn't think I had the time to try get anything else machined or a different pulley, so I thought if I welded it and it didn't work, I would be forced to find a different pulley. I took a chance and so far it's worked out.</blockquote>
