The low budget DIY XL conversion

[Nixpus]

Roger roger Scarlet :)

As this is a DIY project the mount will be custom and accept both KB45 and regular screw size/spacing. Btw... you had some less fortunate experience with the KB45's as far as I recall? Do you remember what gearing you ran and if you had heat problems?

Ive drilled 4 holes in the front and back of the can to let heat escape more easily... may shorten its life but thats ok. The shaft was done on a bench lathe (I know... its almost cheating).

The mount will be made out of 2½-3mm hardned steel. I will not weld anything but simply cut and bend since this should be something anyone can do.
