You might take a look at my photos. It is a very tricky thing, as the
complex
shape of the head is very hard to measure. I ended up with the encoder 1/2"
inside the belt housing! I had to cut slots for the bolt holes so that
it could sit
1/2" farther out from the front to clear the interference.

About halfway down is one overall picture and a link to more pics of the
way I did it. http://jelinux.pico-systems.com/CNCconv.html
