can you tell me about the long bolt that goes onto the motor shaft please.

Terry, the motor shaft was just a standard 5/16 shaft with a flat side. I had a colar turned for it. One end of the colar is just a neat 5/16 inside diam with a grub screw. This slides over the end 30mm of the motor shaft and stays there via the grub screw. I got the other end of the colar threaded (3/8). I just screw the 3/8 threaded rod that goes through the centre of the pvc cap straight into this. got a locking nut on the thread, lock it down onto the colar once the whole lot is screwed in as far as you can go. If i ever have any hassles with the chuck i can just make a new one and screw it into the colar, no worries, as long as its got a 3/8 thread as the centre bolt.
