The motor was fitted with a 30 tooth XML pulley and a 80 tooth XML belt used.
(Both pulley and belt(s) can be sourced from Small Parts, QLD.)
A small aluminium bracket was made up to mount the motor and attach to the telescope using the finder screws....
Worked very well for me. I also used the Shoestring FCusb module for remote control. I eventually replaced the motor with a JMI motor and re-used the pulley/ belt arrangement on the spectroheliograph.
If you need more info (I'm sure I still have the bracket I made up in the observatory....) let me know.
(The yellow Vegemite lid in the background was my "original" fine focusing set-up.)
