The screws are aligned with the gearbox holes but these screws require a counter sink to screw all the way in. I will use the tip of the stepper /uni-bit to make a counter sink.

The motor unhooks from the gearbox with a simple 1/8 twist. I believe I will use a portion of the original casing to keep them mated together.

I will add a large hole at the end for the power wires to feed through

After measuring I found that there is too much plastic lip on the clutch sleeve. I will need to find the dremel and trim down the clutch so that I can fit it behind the metal plate and still be able to screw it all the way down to the face of the gearbox.

On a side note I am going to go find those nail clippers! Those are scary.

Those nails will work well for stripping wire.....

Project is going well. Looking forward to more.

Ok so I used a larger bit and slowly machined out the holes to countersink the screws.

Ok so you are going to laugh but I drilled the pattern from the WRONG side on the left bracet. At first I thought it would be ok till I found the holes are not symmetrical. So I had to make some adjustments. Ugh

You can see they are a couple mm off, it is fixable but I am still grumpy
