Thanks. I figured I would have to add a plate behind the mag anyway after your first comment. That info is in the 20-some pages I've copied & saved for this project. I just don't remember all of it right off the bat. The little space behind the mag-backing plate with the 1 3/8" mags is 0.024". 1 1/2" wide mags would leave a 0.03" gap. At the thickness of the "pan", I wouldn't be surprised if it pulled the surface flat, LOL! Really though, I already thought of that, it's a nice place for JB Weld to hold the mag in place.

Good news! I have two motors, both are 220v and one is from the same clothes dryer. They both have 14ga. magnet wire in the coils! If it works out OK, I'll have to scrounge up a couple more to make all those coils! Obviously, I'll only be making 1 to start out with, but at least that's a lot closer to the ideal gage.
