That sounds like a good price, but the pix is too dark to see it well in that shot. But I do see that you were even more cramped for x motor space behind the apron than I am. When I made the new apron face, I mounted it to the front face of the saddle, gaining about an inch there because the apron is 1/2" thick. Then I made some steel runners to let an 1/8" alu sled on the front face of the apron move to tension the belt by sliding the motor up and down. So I have nominally room for a motor up to 119 mm's long I need to take some pix I guess. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
