Where are the bushings going? Also the brake can go on the axle or jackshaft whichever provides for the best space. Making a sprocket/brake disk holder/carrier is pretty easy too!!!find a piece of (thick-1/4"-5/16") pipe that has a tight fit for your jackshaft/axle,or something similar for your mounting hub.You'll need to put atleast 2 set screws in it if you have a tap or drill holes (2) and weld a nut over the hole for a set bolt.Next you'll need a piece of plate steel same thickness as pipe or thicker, get hole saws the size of the O.D. of your pipe and 1 about 4"-5-1/2"(big enough for the bolt pattern on sprocket/disk rotor) for your mounting plate. First drill the large hole- if you don't have a drill press use the hole saw basically as a scribe and cut the balance with a grinder(ain't gotta be perfect)-the pilot bit gives you your true center for marking/drilling the bolt pattern of the sprocket/disk rotor. After getting those holes drilled then you can drill the pipe diameter hole.Your pipe/hub can be as wide as you want it, weld the pipe to the round plate,tack it- spin it and check for alignment. Sorry if this info. was already part of your game plan!!!
