3154 forum posts 1435 photos	Hi MichaelG, just goes to show that not everything has to be made to a high accuracy, even the slight wobble on the motor pulley didn't seem to cause any issue. I've used cable ties many times as circular clamps and some of them can be used again if all of them don't need pulling up too far. Regards Nick.
