I’m continuing to plug away at the rear motor mounts. It took a lot of trial fitting and filing to get the lengths of the inner rods and outer sleeves just right, so that there was no slop, but the rubber mounts didn’t get crushed once everything was torqued down. Then I had to work out the dimensions of the actual mounting tabs between the assembly and the engine bosses.

And here I have to fabricated the upper tabs in 1/4″ steel. They still need to be welded. I haven’t decided if I want to do that myself or have my local welding pro do it. I designed them to be captive on the cross-tube, so it’s not a structurally critical weld, but these will be really apparent, and I don’t want it all to look booger-y.
