Wanted to toss this out there. This seems like a good place.
If you're looking for a good box to store a motor, consider a box that reems of paper come in. If you use ½" foam or cardboard on all sides, top and bottom its a tight fit. The foam strengthens a already pretty tough box too. Might have to finesse the foam just a bit, like dig the shift shaft and cylinder nuts into it a bit. Pretty good and easy to find box to use tho.
I have the motor dimensions figured to be 16½L 10½W with the stator cover, and 8H with it dug slightly into the bottom foam. The only foam I have here is 1" thick, that's what's in the pics.
I'm finding heavyweight boxes available for sale. I'm lookin to buy some, 20x14x12High to use with 2" thick foam on all sides for long term storage or shipping. Just FYI.
