I'm making new motor mount brackets the cast iron end brackets are too big to allow the motor to fit in my Schwinn Mesarunner frame. The next time I build a bike I'm using a beach crusier frame.

The end brackets are being made from 3/16" x1" steel flat stock. They will bolt onto the motor mount plate.

Cool ET. Any pics?

My DIY mounts had a problem with slipping down annoyingly slow in the rear. My "just for now" fix was a simple turn buckle. Been on there for a year or more, lol.

Today I got the motor mount brackets parts I made welded up, it only cost me $10.00 a real good deal.

Tomorrow I should be able to get a lot done on the bike now that I can install the motor.

I'll take some pictures as I progress with the project and post on here when I'm finished.

I installed the motor mount but had to make one of the tube cutouts deeper by using a grinding wheel. And I had to bolt two steel bars under the motor because the monuting bolts wouldn't line up. The motor is monuted in the frame finnaly and I did take pictures. I'll post all the pics when I'm done and the bike is running.
