Hehehe, I'll certainly be doing that when it's finished.
Anyways, yesterday I received the motor mount parts from my machinist (he's fast...
www.fulloption.co.uk), and...wow. the quality is amazing. I've taken photos, but unfortunately the light is bad today and they really don't show how nicely finished these parts are. Extremely crisp machining, and done extremely accurately. Even the screw threads are all perfect; no swarf or anything. One side of each part is the milled side, with the milling marks (still looks nice), and the other side is natural aluminium:
I didn't waste any time, and started fitting them as soon as I could. The base plate fits well with the stock engine screws and M4 screws threading through...though they stick out a little on the other side. Unfortunately the M4 screws that I was going to fit the motor plate with are a shade too long for the threads, so I'll have to order some shorter ones. I've just placed the motor plate for show in these pics:
I'll take some better pics sometime, as these really suck! The next step is to sort out a battery and tray setup, though being able to sell my TNX 5.2R would put some funds towards this (hint!). :biggrin: O0
