a few more pic someone had drilled the back gear cover to mount the drum and start stop mag starter switches it wobbled around like a pea in a wash tub and being i was replacing the org 3 ph. motor with a single ph. i went with just the drum switch so i came up with this mounting pad using the two holes that were there and the collet closer bracket hole and being i have an extra head stock i used it as a fixture to hold things as i did the machine work one thing for sure it ain't going to wobble no more
