Axle drive

Last piece of the barrel

To "connect" the motor to the barrel axle, a PVC pipe cap, drilled and fitted with a 3/8" brass NPT pipe plug.

The square drive socket in the motor is metric.  A 1/4" pipe plug was too small, and a 3/8" too big.  Well, too big could be rectified!

Each side of the square head was filed down until it fit.  Turned out to be @ 5/16" (@ 8mm).

This cap is just friction fit the the end of the axle tube.
