Motor mounting

This is how I designed the motor mount.

First i started out by pushing a piece of paper onto the side of the motor to get an indent of where i needed to cut, then roughly cut it out and drill the appropriate holes.

After a couple test fitments and regrinding some edges it fits perfectly, a section of the motor had to be ground down and three washers were added behind the plate to clear the motor. (will get longer bolts to account for the extra thickness)

Now to start on the second plate which i already have cut out and drilled holes for in the next photo. To mount the second plate I hacked off the bushing and arm to just leave the section that bolts to the motor as a spacer for the massive bolts.

Next is to cut the square tubing to length, tack weld it in place then take it off and weld it properly.

Now to bolt the motor to the transmission and jack up the motor to the correct height and measure the length of steel to cut. I did this by holding it up to the motor/bracket and pencil tracing where i needed to cut, and cutting it, didnt turn out too bad.

Here it is fully supported by the bracket and the torque bar on the left side of the motor just to minimise any flexing.
