I'm not sure about the exact size, i'll have to measure the pins and the base. There was a bracket that was supposed to be part of the machine that helped it to bolt into a table but i might not need it
I do have a spare motor hanging around, so i wonder how that could work! Getting the bases here is tricky, might have to buy a trashed machine and part it out

I have seen some of those for sale, i don't know how to calculate what measurements need to fit for it to work, any ideas?

They are legal here in Australia afaik, sold in tractor parts shops and also as mobility aids for driving cars
I'm starting to thinkt his might just work! Trying to source some 128x4 needles from the local industrial machine shop.
