Exclamation In bad need of: 4mm Medusa front spacer - 04.22.2009, 03:02 PM

Mike is out of them and i need one pretty soon if possible. I think one of the screws has stripped one of the mounting holes in my Medusa and need a front cover so that i can thread one of the holes on it so htat it can hold my motor or at least use it a s a template to make my own cover. Any other help is also welcome. Thanks in advance

the non-medusa one is only slightly larger, 39mm vs. 36mm IIRC. It would work and is in stock, you'd just have a 1.5mm lip at the motor/spacer joint.

edit: you could use the non medusa, but only with the two 25mm spaced holes

Even if Mike had them in stock, Medusas would need a custom version since two of their mounting holes are not the typical ~25mm we use.

Good to know. Are the other two 30mm? Are they m4?

They are all 3mm, but two are closer together. One set is the typical 25mm apart, the other two are 19mm apart. Kind of a PITA when mounting because it reduces mounting options if you want the wires a certain way. PDF diagram (for the 70mm, but they all are the same IIRC).

Yea, that is the reason i haven't already purchased the one for the Neu and just use it. The mounting hole i believe is stripped is one of the standard 25mm spacing, so a spacer plate would need to attach on the 19mm holes.

Depending on how patient you are, making your own shouldn't be too difficult if you have the material. The hardest part would be to drill the holes accurately.

By the way, I thought I had stripped one of my Medusas as well, but it turned out the 3mm screw I was using was smaller than it should have been. Seems that there is a lot of leeway allowed when making a 3mm screw. Also, how deep is the screw going?
