mounting the motors
I used a piece of flat 1.5mm Aluminium about 35mm wide and 70mm long.
It screws onto the worm housing with 2 x 4mm screws ( as per the original Losmandy motor plates) and I cut a small slot 18mm wide at the end to "locate" the boss on the cut-off plastic housing of the DS motor. This allows of a bit of mis alignment but firmly locates the motors against the "reverse" torque.
Great outcome!!!
