The roller chain arrived today (free shipping from Princess auto). Priced it at the farm dealer, American made was $140 a roll, this was $55. For the application it will more than suffice.
With the chain in hand I could check my calculations for how far apart the shafts needed to be. Made up the tensioners and cut the angle iron to length.
The sleeve sticking up is where the bronze bushings will go, the 5 1/2 OD pipe will act as guides for the grousers as they come around.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
