I'm thinking I want to be able to convert the roller back to hand crank use if needed, for example the motor breaks or the construction I'm making does not work, so I will try to make a bolted bracket for the motor. I need to be able to adjust the motor position to get the shaft aligned as good as possible. As I will have to dismantle the bead roller and probably need to do some welding to the frame, it would make sense to stiffen up the construction while I'm at it.

As I need a way to get the motor more towards the back of the roller a suitable tick plate might solve two problems at once. The plan is now to strengthen the body of the bead roller at the same time as preparing fastening point for the motor assembly. Purchasing material. With some...
