I was already aware that I needed a 1 inch washer from reading other threads. I even measured the sprocket. The sprocket fits on the shaft. I tested it. There's an awful lot of room, though. I'm wondering just how many washers i need to get that thing nice and tight. I'll buy a few and mess around with it until I get it right I guess.
I just have to wait till Monday for the supply houses to open. Haven't tested the fit on the rear sprocket yet. It's still on the bike.
Thanks.

Let us know what the thickness of your spacers turns out to be. Got a micrometer?

I lubed the rear sprocket bolts with used junk oil mix for lube and corrosion resistance. The nuts and bolts had a whitish substance. Corrosion? Do these bolts need locktite? Blue?
I noticed that the hub fits the sprocket such that water and stuff can get behind the sprocket.

I found a great way to soak the chain in gear oil. A ziplock bag.
Minimizes the amount of gear oil needed. I've got it soaking right now.

I've got two washers on currently + oem lockwasher. I haven't tightened it down yet because it still freewheels.

Excellent size washers, aren't they? I specified narrow O.D.

Did you use 520 or 530 ?
Remember it has to line up with rear sprocket

Why? I guess it will be fine but I'd prefer a larger washer as a spacer to handle the load better.

Alright, it should be 530 all the way. I bought the smaller washers so they wouldn't get in the way of the chain or something. I guessed from the other chain conversion thread.
Thanks, I'm glad you like my luxurious workbench. It is the WorkBlaster 5000 by NoCorp. They really make the best, don't they?
