Step 4Fitting The Motor

Fitting The Motor
The construction of the motor dictated the method of mounting for this project. I had originally intended to cut slots to hold the metal tabs and quickly discovered that drilling holes was a far more practical option. 

I simple held the motor in place for the first hole and let that be the anchor for the others drilling each in turn after the first. There was a slight but inconsequential variance in the placement of the holes that was easily corrected. 

With the holes drilled I simply mixed some two part epoxy. You could use about anything, I'm just not fond of waiting for glue to dry and prefer to use something faster. 

Fill the holes with glue and slip fit the brushes to the motor. Simply hold it in place until the glue sets.
