I’m going to see if I can’t mock that up. Hopefully it works out.That's what I was thinking about Mike. Using aluminum tubing with rubber connectors, like a boost tube.

Thanks Missel, that’s what I’m planning on.View attachment 584473 this was
Don’t even think such things lol...Just as long as you don't "feel" the tap go crunch!
They make abrasives from aluminum oxide so it’s like drilling and tapping a grinding wheel dulling everything as it goes in... now brass on the other hand, is so nice to cut.You'd think alum would be really easy to tap, but it has a way of gumming up sometimes.

Same here. The bees wax is a good tip. I’ve used it on coated abrasive discs but have yet to try it on a cutoff. I bought a bandsaw instead.We use liberal amounts of WD40 or similar product when machining ,drilling or cutting threads in aluminum . The other great product I found for using a cutoff disc on aluminum, was bee's wax. Just run the edge of the disc on it and it cuts like butter.
I usually keep a spreadsheet but decided I’m much better off not knowing lol.Nice. Wish that motor was mine. I wouldn’t want to guess how much into it.
