Got to do a little bit of fabrication to make this work got to cut the tabs off and drill two Center holes inside the bracket and then mount it to the frame and fits perfect man definitely a good upgrade

I pretty much show you what you got to do I'm working on mine right now but it's pretty simple

What you got to do here's a picture of it you got to knock both those ears off and sand it down flush to the circle part of the mount and then drill two holes where those dots are at but on the back side and that's where you drop your screws at to mount to the chassis pretty simple

That looks nice. How did you get the countersink inside the clamp?
Reverse the drill bit so the shank stuck outside of the thing and then I connected the drill and kind of like pulled while it countersink

What's the countersink was inside and then I ran the drill bit up through the whole into the shank and kind of like reversed it when I get home I'll show you a picture of what I did

That is genius. I would have never thought of doing that.

You're going to need these also but got to find them in M3 or M4 and cut them down so everything is flush under the chassis and in the mount

Man I was looking at my exb with the 1717 Castle on there and I seen how much room was under there and I was like man that can't be good for landing so I was thinking about it man and I went to just searching and I found that thing for 11 bucks man and it fits perfect for 47 to 50 mm cans it's perfect a little bit of Fab work and you got yourself a good strong mount

This is what I got they have M3 or M4 I used the M3 and I'm pretty sure you know how to use these you just drill a M3 hole out and as you're screwing your mount in this will pull itself in and lock itself into the chassis

That's cool bro
The ones we actually used in machining were quite a bit more expensive. The Noga one is more of a debur tool. But it can work in a hand drill to cut c-sinks. You just have to go a little slow to keep from breaking the blade.

Ran into a problem can't Mount to chase without running to small channels to slide back in forth forgot about slide back in forth for pinion and mesh. But really works just as good with out mounting to chases. Better than dang silicone that's a mess and pain to remove from motor mount.
