Default TM Technologies motor dimensions?

I'm looking for basic dimensions of the TM Tech air motors. Primarily OAL (from back of motor to working face of the die) and the mounting diameter. The type of die will effect the dimension, I'm looking for ballpark figures. If someone owns a few of them, a quick tape measure would be fine.

I have tried contacting their customer support via their website form and received one response thinking I was asking about DIY plans.


Why am I looking for these numbers?
I recently finished my Imperial clone and have robbed my Northern Tool wheel of its anvils and wheel leaving me with an empty frame. While I know it's not optimal due to frame flex, I'm thinking of mounting a motor on the old frame. I'm trying to figure out how to mount the motor where the top wheel was and line up with the adjustable lower mount. OAL will limit what I can put in there but honestly I'm really only looking at motors #0 through 3 or 4.

thanks.
steve

Hi Steve,
#0 OAL = 6.5"
#1 OAL = 8.5"
#2 OAL = 8.0"
#3 OAL = 9.0"
#4 OAL = 11.0
Dia. = 1.50"

Thank you so much. The exact info I needed to make some decisions. I was fairly certain you watched the forum. Thank you.
