I had not considered the epoxy putty idea as being usable considering the motors operating temps would tend to soften the putty. I take it this has not become a problem? How about if the plastic was swapped out for the smallest die-cast alu? Would thermal expansion diffs break it loose eventually?
Also, did you clean the side of the motor before sticking on? Mine are, after all these years, understandably oil covered but I've been hesitant to clean with anything but the air hose as I didn't want to effect the lamination layer dielectric and raise the eddy current losses. > The cable is 16/0.2mm with an overall screen but a lot more flexible > than the Def Stan 16-2-4C in those pictures ...

We had 24 awg on a 1k foot spool at the tv station and it has worked well, and is wet noodle flexible. With no red dyes in its fabrication, there are no built in chemical time bombs.
