Not a lot Roland, that several page long chart is for the nuts themselves. Nut mounts, other than what they should do well in terms of alignment with the nut to screw axis, aren't mentioned anyplace in that nominally 206 page pdf. Google for "ball nut mount footprints", and this one fits the screw I have perfectly, is the "hip roofed" style for a 2505 screw. There are also square topped varieties. Go here: <http://www.automation4less.com/bsmotorbrackets.htm> scroll to the bottom of the page. The lower left image is the style of nut mount I have. Clicking on that image, which I didn't know you could do, links eventually to: <http://www.file-vault.us/pdfs/HD25.pdf> Which agrees 100% with the DSG charts for a 2505. So now I have 2 different sources for a footprint drawing whose data match. It looks like I have some measurements to double check once the pills and coffee kick in. Thats sort of an osmosis like process. :) Thanks Roland. I appreciate the effort to help. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
