Hot damn. I went out to the garage to see how I could figure out how to sand down the aluminum pipe thickness to what I need to take up the gap between the output shaft and the reluctor wheel. The idea damn near knocked me off my feet. I'm embarrassed I hadn't thought of it yet. You see the little brush on the drill? That's it. I was attacking it from the outside to make it thinner. Slapped that bad boy on the drill....a little force and she went in.
Size pipe: 1" OD, 0.902" ID, thickness = 0.049" (measurements were FAIRLY accurate)
Output shaft (location I wanted the wheel) = 1.102"
Reluctor ring (ACDELCO 24202711) ID = 1.182 - 1.188 (not perfect either)
Brushed about an inch of the pipe to 0.043 with a leading edge at 0.033 (not intentional.....just what ended up with) First attempt was 0.038 and the ring spun by hand....So I wanted a smaller leading edge to get it started.
Then I split it in half and gently tapped it so it was form fit to the shaft as it is bigger than the pipe. Stuck the wheel on there and started it by hand. Tapped it with a hammer and she's on there. You can see how the two halves didn't stay in position. I can't turn it by hand. I could JB Weld it on there, but I might just tack the ring to the shaft (steel). Alignment is perfect for where I want to put my sensor in on the trans adapter.
Reluctor Ring $6 at Rockauto as compared to most kits that start @ $90 and want you to drill into the trans case.
