Installing the dome drive

Well it is time to make the head spin :)
I did some looking for the standard dome motor that everyone was using on there droids (Pittman 12v GM9413-2) but it seems that they do not make that model anymore. So I went with a slightly different (but still produced)Pittman 6 to 24Vdc GM9236C460 .

The motor bolts right in to the Comm8 drive motor mount that came with my frame. The only problem is that the drive wheel sits a little high on the Rockler bearing. I am thinking that the motor mount fits the standard motor perfect but the shaft on this replacement is slightly different. A quick trim with the Dremel and all was good.
