Re: (ET) welding a ring onto deck motor

[Kim Petty <kim coveside net>]

PS. I now see a possible clearance issue with pushing a bolt through from 
the inside. The bolt head could get in the way of the the throught bolt 
that holds the end plates on. I don’t see a problem yet with tapping and 
installing a short bolt from the outside.
