Anyone come up with a cure for this? It's where the inner adjuster washer spins around and wears on the inside hub of the moveable sheave.

I've been scratching my head for years trying to figure out a solution. two things I came up with, and they seemed to help, was to drill and tap out the other bosses on the outer sheave. Then use 3 bolts and lock nuts to adjust belt deflection. You would still have a free hole to screw in the tool to spread the clutch for belt removal.
I didn't do this specifically for inner sheave wear, it was more so the two sheaves would sit square rather than slightly cocked on take off with just one bolt spreading the sheaves. I don't know if the secondary would need to be rebalanced after this mod, but I had it done to be on the safe side.
I have a pic around somewhere showing the mod.

The other thing I tried was to trace out and cut a washer out of a milk jug ( poor mans delrin washer) the same dimensions as the washer and put between the sheave and the washer. That seemed to work also.
