Title: Graupner Speed 400
Post by: Mickeyfinns on May 04, 2013, 08:15:09 pm

I'm looking for a mount for Graupner Speed 400. The problem is I don't know what thread size the 2 screws used in the actual casing are. Also do commercial mounts advertised on ebay, or shops come with screws? The paper work that comes with the motor gives some details about the motor but not this. Have tried their web page to no joy. {:-{

Thanks for that Plug, :-)) I've been searching for an hour but could not find any mounts that said they have screws. Once I can find the thread size I'll be looking for more mounts. Have purchased mount. 8) 8) 8)

M2.5 or M2.6 usually fit...Keep them below 6mm or they may foul the armature once screwed in.
