Here's the mount I made for my Grizzly.? Sounds
like we were thinking alike.

I have a Grizzly 7x14 that I fitted with a ER-32 collet
chuck.
It was improved with a steel gearset and I "fixed" a ton of
things that were machined wrong on it to make it more suitable.
An OXA quick change toolpost was a must have for me and I
outfitted it with narrow nosed live center.
The end thrust setup on the leadscrew was janky, so I
machined a nicer setup for it.
I was very disappointed with the drive motor mount, so I made
a radiused and counterbored flat plate to mount it.
I cleaned the casting pimples off the mounting area and made
thicker stepped washers in order to give it better support.
In the end, I had to modify the splash pan a little to
compensate for the added dimension of the plate, but the end
result was what I was after.
