I have been getting my engine placed fore and aft in my frame. I thought I had it fairly close at the end of messing with it yesterday, but looked at it today and started all over. God only knows what I was looking at yesterday, or maybe some vandals got into my shop last night and adjusted it for me. Anyway, now that it’s on centerline and level, I started patterning my frame mounts. I started by bolting a pad to the motor mounts, and then worked with thick cardboard before transferring my shapes to 1/4” plywood. Once I had them fitted to my satisfaction, I hot-glued them together. Now I am working on fitting the tubular bracing inside my frame. At first layout, it looks like I have a total of 4 1/2” to cut off each assembly. I’m going to start with 2 1/2” and lay them back on my strong backs and see what it looks like.
