Before I get ahead of myself check these threads concerning bearings, center differentials, Motor Mounts, etc. If you need info concerning that part of a dst conversion.

I scrapped version one of the motor mount after spending some time this weekend making a new one. This one turned out much better then version 1. It's atleast pciture worthy. I still messed up a little with the motor mount screw slots but will be able to use a couple small washers to mount the motor with. The mounts work great no binding and is real smooth. Center diff spins freely and is angled correclty with the center shafts. Unlike my first version if you are wondering why I mention that. It's held up for a test run but will need the washers for a little piece of mind while I am running it. Kind of bummed about that washers because I liked the keyhole access for mounting the motor but they are useless with washers installed unless I make the access hole the size of the washers.

These pics are some of the draft pictures before I put some finishing touches on it like cleaning and "polishing" the edges up to get a clear glass look.

Actually the second (smaller mount) in those pictures was scrapped and a new one was made. That one didn't line up right and was a little off in size.
