So, I sawed about 2.5" off the end of the remainder and machined the top and bottom flat, although the first pass disclosed that I needed to take up the gibs, which I did, and now both faces sit nice & flat on the table. But the table slots lack about 1/8" of spacing on each side, forcing the bolts to the rear where they can get past the cooling fins. But that made me make a wedge block to put under the back of the motor because the lopsided grip on the smooth part of the flywheel angles it tail down about 5 degrees as I tighten the bolts. That seems solid enough but too much bolt draw could bend the motor shaft, so Its a balancing act. But I think its tight enough I can drill the holes _if_ the bit is sharpened first and I drill a small pilot hole first. After lunch as I have not yet rotated the head. But now its lunch time, gotta go see what my baby wants. And where I can get it today. > Cheers, Gene Heskett Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
