Nice mounts guys. I really like the aluminum one Tombsy. Did you make it? Again, I was going to maching one up, but kenetic racing had just what I needed. 56mm motor mount with 5in rail adapters.
I was able to fit the strut into the lathe and center it offset by only a tiny amount. Angle cut both ends. Looks crooked, but there is more meat at the top of the strut tube for strength... Strut has a blended flat-to-curve bottom.
under-sized reamed 3/8 and the bearings fit just right, not too tight, not too loose. Don't want oval bearings....
I like Kenetic racing and offshore electrics. FAST shippers, never get my order wrong..
Waiting on the motor mount before final fitting of shaft tube. Got two more 1/4 shafts from chinabay, but they only sent the two flex shafts, and not the stuffing tubes(which were supposed to be included) In any case, these flex shafts are the very nice one , stainless, smooth, and the stiff end is very well ground.
I also put up a pic off the net, nasty blenders!
