Kevin,

Referencing the green circle on your picture, that is exactly where I
mounted my reluctor wheel on my 20B.  The only difference that I see is that
I didn't use the larger pulley, only the smaller main pulley.  So, the stock
Renesis reluctor wheel worked fine.  Only problem is that I have to remove
the pickup to change belts.

You probably know this, but don't make the pickup bracket out of ferrous
metal or it will interfere with the magnetic pulses sensed by the pickup.  I
found this out the hard way.  ;-(
