mick 53, I certainly hope you don't take any of that as an attack. Seeing all that you have fabricated so far, I had mentioned making your own motor plate as it seemed par for the course with what you have done to date. In no way would I tell you what or how to build your project. And I don't speak for Jerry, but I don't believe he directed it at you but just a comment in general. You certainly don't classify as someone who is a "bolt on" guy, not that there is anything wrong with that. People are capable of different things at different levels.
The amount of time, fabrication skills, effort and level of precision you have put into your project so far still blows me away!!
