I may have answered my own question. Someone tell if what I found is right or wrong please?

Diameter = D, P = Pitch, N = Number of teeth.

D = N/P

Radius = D/2

I calculated the radius of the Spur, the radius of the pinion and added them together. I have about .125 inches of play either way by sliding the motor in its mount, so my final number just needs to end up between 1 and 1.25 inches.

My starting point should be a 90 tooth spur and 53 tooth pinion.
