When I ran shims on the outside it flogged out the pin slot, I don't use shims on the outside now, I use .3 on one side and .2 on the other, if I go to .3 on each side the mesh is too tight and very rough to turn.
As for the jig You will need a lathe to make it, I turned down a bar so the belt would slide on tight up to a stop, then a ring that slides over the belt that is the correct thickness, the ring gives you a nice flat edge to use a sharp knife blade to trim the belt, leaving a nice clean edge.
give me your email address and I can send you a drawing of the jig.
