I measured the original wire on the stator before I took it off, i measured 2.4 inches, and the stator is 1 inch thick (actually 17/16ths), so you have 0.7 inches of wire sticking out on each side, so I want a diameter of PVC pipe that gives me about 2.4 inches when i put the coils in and press them squarish, because the coils wont go in round, they are more rectangle-like. I just happen to have two PVC pipes, 1 & 11/16ths, and 1 & 13/16ths and I found the ideal diameter in between that, so I will make a slight adjustments when I build the jig so that the wire loops will be the desired size.
have to run, back in a bit
