On a side note a ...

Hi Kirk

Didn't use a cad program,being quite a simple person to be honest I would not know where to start with CAD. It took me a while how to figure out how to do the shape for the shaft, the motor also has a "D" shape on the shaft. All I done was export from gearotic in DFX, opened in corel draw ...
