What did you use for your bracket? I am having a hard time sourcing local angle aluminum of good grade and size.

In the beginning, I thought I wanted a full skid plate under the motor, so from Ebay, I ordered a 4 foot stick of 4" x 4" 1/8" thick angle.

Then I changed my mind and went to Lowes. There I bought a 4 foot stick of 2" x 2" 1/8" thick angle. It's back there by the threaded rod and the steel angle.

Everything is made from the 2" x 2" angle except for the ESC mounting plate. That's 1/8" sheet. And also the little blocks that support everything, those are made from an aluminum sheet that's 3/8" thick.

All the bolts and nuts also came from Lowes. They have a really good selection. In thinking back, I probably should have used aluminum bolts for some weight savings. That probably wouldn't amount for much though.
