Garry,
Unless you happen to have machinist skills and gear, I think it is not cost or result effective to try drilling and reaming yourself. I would suggest (both) getting an estimate from a local machine shop to bore the drive wheel out to 15mm and contacting Steve. (With a local machine shop, take the motor with you to get a good fit and make a flat spot to secure the drive wheel.)
I used the motor bracket which comes with the Penn State motor to mount the motor with six inch drive wheel. It worked fine, but is not just plug and play.
The bracket from sharpeningmadeeasy is primarily designed for the smaller drive wheel, however, it can be repositioned to work with the six inch drive wheel. I chose to use the smaller drive wheel because it is mathematically better at low speed. From a practical basis, either size should work fine.
Please check your messages.
