Focus drive mods

Hi,


I'm adapting a little skywatcher motor to use with my Baader steeltrack focuser. The Baader motor looks like a great piece of kit, but I can't justify the $1000 price tag. The second photo is of the skywatcher unit, which I have, the others are the Baader which I'm trying to emulate.

My first step is to source a timing belt to run between the focuser and motor, and a small cog wheel to put on the motor. Does anyone have any ideas on the best place to get these items?


Cheers
Stephen
