Bob--
That all makes sense and that explains the three smaller holes in the
stator tube disc but there were no alignment pins in the control head
when I removed it, nor were there holes for any. I suppose I could
carefully drill some holes for pins once I get things assembled though they
were apparently not necessary prior to my removal. In any case thanks for
the explanation.

With regards to the three screws holding the control head to the short <br>
