That gear reducer fits pretty well. Glad to see it was the answer to your problems. I read your other thread, asking about it, with interest.
Nathan, thanks, I cut those by hand, but I cheated. I found some material that already had the circle cut in it, so all I had to do is cut out the step bracket from it. It was a very time consuming task! I'm still not completely happy with the screws but I had trouble drilling/tapping anything smaller, so that will have to do... for now.


Thanks.
