    Question about motor mount hole spacing

    Just bought a Neu 1515 1y from a member here. I thought for sure it would fit the Williams Racing rail mount that I have. This mount did hold a Leo 4092, and if you look
    in the motors for sale section in OSE parts, you will see that both motors have the same specs, Quote, " Mounting Holes 25mm apart for use with most 540 mounts ".
    This Neu motor WILL NOT fit my mount! Could someone school me on mounting hole spacing for THIS Neu motor, and where I can find a mount??? Do I now have an oddball Neu?
    I have read elsewhere that they do exist. The battery on my digital caliper has died, but I am guessing 20mm.

      Can't you just drill new holes in your mount or elongate them?

          There are numbers on your caliber, you should be able to measure the old fashion way, you know, by reading it like a ruler

              Some of the first Neus had odd ball mount hole spacing. They ordered cans from China(?) and received out of spec parts - but had to use them due to time constraints......IIRC.

                  True, but the shaft gets in the way, and if I have to order a custom mount I want to know for sure. I'll have a new battery for the caliper by tomorrow. I am sure
                  you would be just as picky if you went to a machine shop with a custom order.

                      Might be selling the Leo with the mount, and doubt if the new owner would appreciate such sloppy work.
                      Might even keep them both and install in another hull, and even I would not like it.
