Good info Kevan.
I think Pendles usually give dimensions for motors they sell.....and they have quite a few listed.

That’s great, but what does FL and FC stand for ?

Who knows but it's the motor types we use, it's one of those 'need to know basis' and it's not something I need to know.

I got this link off the web. It's pretty cool. Scroll down. Woodcote knows his stuff.

Quote from Woodcote "The 'S-Can' is an FC130 motor and has its brushes and springs fixed in the plastic 'endbell' which attaches to the half-metal 'can'. The 'Short Can' - or FK130 - has slightly different gubbins inside a fully-metal can."
