Re: WCP SS gearbox on AndyMark KOP chassis am14u3?
Your reply prompted me to check the 8" conversion kit page at AndyMark for a CAD file. And there was one. The width between bearings looks to be 4.6". While the AndyMark extended hex shaft (out of stock) is a comfortable 5.7", the shaft that comes with the WCP gearbox falls short at 4.1". Unless I can substitute other WCP extra-long shafts and cut them to length, I will have to wait on AndyMark to restock.

By the way, I also discovered this morning that Rhino3D for Mac has a 90-day trial license, and works great to open the STEP files AndyMark provides. After the trial expires, the installation notes tell me it will stop saving but will still open and view files. Might be all I ever need on my Mac!
