Today is Sunday Alan.......[in OZ].....
I presume that the line I draw on the wood will be centre line of the coupling? - no not necessarily, but it is the VERY important angle you need as reference
Depending on the motors you have..... they may be foot mounted or front flange mounted by two metal thread tappings, if the latter is the case you need to pay extra attention to your wooden blocks, as the
top surface [parallel to the pencil scribed line] must have an accurate 90 degree included angle to the block
front face as this will be the reference for the motor mounting
Whilst both Ken & I have spoken about wooden blocks.....there is no hard & fast rule.....you could simply use the wooden block & pencil scribed line to accurately make some simple aluminium angular brackets to mount the motors
The greater the accuracy
in the gauging & marking out of the original pencil scribed line will result in minimal need for any correction to the motor alignment.....
There are various thread articles here in Mayhem on this subject..........would be good time spent researching the archives.........
