[fatboyelroy]

Any grade 12.9 or if you can do it, drill and tap it for 4mm.

use mikes front end bell protector - then you get four screws into the can...

+1 on this, best 10 bucks you can spend. And if you happen to strip the threads you can just replace the 10 dollar cover, not the 350 dollar motor...

I use the cover on all my Neu motors, it also makes sure a scew wont get into the motor and make contact with the windings

You might want to check your motor since I have a 1527 and it has M4 screws

thread a 3mm screw in and if its loose in the threads try a 4mm, if it fits it's 4mm

m4 threads are an option. Both of my 1521 motors have the optional threads and 8mm shafts.

I guess the countersunk holes are for motor screws, then it mounts with the other threaded holes?

Is there one that catches all four screws on a Medusa? They have 2 on 25mm centers, but the other two are on 19mm centers.

Yep the medusa one fits all 4 threaded holes. I have one and it fits my 60mm v2 perfectly. A very good idea, as one of the threaded holes in my motor stripped out very easily. Use the drop down menu to select the medusa model.
