MF haven't looked at that option, probably still have problems with the height adjuster bar, but these Tornado motors are few and far between. I picked up a good one last week in the piles of stuff I got from a bloke who had given up fixing Victas. He had fitted a Tornado motor on a standard base, great idea except the blades were sitting 20mm below the base skirt. Good chance for somebody to chop their toes off
