Hi Tubs and Finn Freeman

Thanks for your replies and sorry for the delay in replying………just had a dose of darned Covid to deal with in our family!!!

Tubs, I have access to a shear for sheet metal and  I was wondering about getting some thin steel sheet and cutting 7/16 inch strips, but they speak of “iron ” laminates in the core and I don’t know if steel would work. I have spoken to guys here and they are puzzled too.  Interesting to note that my Mum used iron wire for doing floristry when I was a kid, but all that wire seems to have vanished long ago, so that idea “goes out the window”!

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks again

PS. I did have two of the motors as shown in your photos, but I gave them away to our Maritime Museum about 40 years back!!!
