Re: (ET) Motor flanges

["Jerry Rhodes" <jerry38 windstream net>]

Bill, what I did here is, I bougth some 3/16" flat steel plate 6" wide and 
had it cut to 6x6" I took the peices to a local small machine shop, slong 
with the motor cases, and had him machine out the hole to match the casing. 
I drilled the mounting hole and had a buddy weld them in place with his wire 
welder, we had a air hose blowing inside the casing, no heat problems, 
worked fine.
