Sugestions for an alternate wiring pattern to get it spinning in the

Is there room for a longer belt and twist it through 180 degrees between

We did consider that, and I guess it will be the practical solution if I
can't find an electrical one. It would mean rotating the motor a bit

Try asking in uk.rec.models.engineering. Lots of people in there who play
with lathe motors and it must be a common enough problem.
