ziggy, the shaft is 55mm. He used a piece of pvc pipe to shim it to the mount.

Looks good. Can you tell me the approximate diameter of the arm on the motor and how did you build it up to the 2 3/8" ID of the primestar mount? Thanks.

Start with a piece of 2in PVC pipe, cut it to the length of the straight part of the motor tube then make two lengthwise cuts to remove about 1/2in from one side so its like a C. This is for relief of the PVC as its compressed around the motor tube and also to make your life easier with the assembly.
