Any ideas on where I can get a motor mount for the Feigao 540C-7XL?
Being that it's got cooling fins, I'm planning on making my own motor clamp using some threaded rods sheathed in carbon, aluminum locknuts and then a strip of aluminum at either end of the motor.
Ideally, I would use a motor mount that has tabs on either side of the motor with drilled and tapped holes for the threaded rod, but I may be asking a bit much there.

My guess is a 1/4" L bracket-type mount would work. Unfortunately, I don't have any decent metalworking skills/tools and my experience trying to work aluminum with a dremel has been less than satisfactory.

I have some thinner aluminum that I could chop with a dremel, but my fear is it'd be too thin and bend.

I saw some posts about a dude named ColdFusion who has had some motor mounts made and was thinking of asking if he could have a custom mount built.

Any other keen ideas?
