Hub and sprocket adapters

I was able to get the kit sproket pretty close to center but just not perfect. I am very interested in the hub/sproket kits I've seen in the ads here. Is manic mechanic still open for business? My problem is I have a shimano FH M510 hub, much smaller than the coaster brake hubs that pirate cycles offers hubs for. My measurement is approx 1.187. Man if i could build parts out of wood I'd be set! I just dont have the needed tools for metal......hmmmmmm

I must be really close to perfect on the sprocket/rag joint as i have never thrown the chain and I have about a 120 miles on it already. I do notice how ever that the chain gets a little tighter in one spot when i rotate the sprocket. I like the hub adapter especially to be able to change ratios so much easier. The rag joint was the biggest pain of the whole process. I will call Manic tomorrow for sure. What is the spoke flange measurement asked for? I also googled my hub and got every spec on the hub but the diameter of the hub center itself! I'm not sure if i trust my caliper to .002 as I have to convert from 32nds.

the spoke flange diameter is so the bolt pattern for the sproket bolts will clear the cross of the spokes
I am using a heavy duty coaster with 12ga spokes, so I needed a bigger bolt pattern, to make up for the thickness of the spokes
the occ has a large spoke flange as well

So the measurement they are looking for is the outside diameter of the spoke mounting flange on the left side of the hub. I will have to ride over to my father inlaws to borrow a good dial caliper to get the measurements asap! My sons engine kit arrives on Wed so I will need to order for both bikes for sure! Thanks for your help Bill. I looked at your site and the bikes you have built there are beautiful to say the least! I am seriously considering a cruiser frame build after my sons mountain bike, he thinks they look silly and are for old folks. I am not getting any younger and I am so hooked! I spent my evening making a custom rear engine mount with some 1/4 in aluminum i got from the scrap yard today. I see many evenings under the halogens in my future!
