Attaching Denso motor adapter to the motor?

[Rob]

Hi Billfred,

One thing to keep in mind here is that the metal shaft sticking out the center of the plastic splined piece of the denso motor does not rotate, it is fixed. The plastic gear and splined bit rotate around the metal shaft like a dead axle. If you put a screw in the end like you are proposing, it may be subject to unscrewing itself with normal operation of the motor.

I am not sure of your setup, but in many cases I have seen the Denso motor used with the long keyed portion of the plastic KOP adapter removed. If you are doing this then you could probably groove the end of the fixed metal shaft and put a snap ring on it. If you have little pride (like us) you can make this groove with a little care using a bandsaw or a hacksaw.

Good luck,
