Dangerwr, I too would not recommend drilling and tapping a motor that does not have a removable endbell (front). The chance of damaging the coils is too great, you could easily drill too far or run the tap into the coils and ruin the motor. I have several Neu and TeknoNeu motor but I waited for the MMM 2650kv motor because of the removable front endbell.
