I am a newbee and I apologize if I am treading old ground. I have searched the forum (and other forums too) though and not found the type of engine mounting information I am looking for. If there is a thread on this though, any help in directing me there would be appreciated.
I have a Catrike Trail (receumbent tadpole trike) and also a Subaru Robin 33.5cc engine mounted to a Staton, Inc gear reduction box. I would like to mount the Subaru and gear box behind the rear wheel, relatively low down (about axle height), but I have never seen a mount like this. Staton has a system that will mount an engine above the wheel, like this and also an axle mount. But the above-the-wheel mount puts the engine right next to your head on a recumbent, and I cannot use the Staton axle mount for other reasons. So, ideally I would be able to triangulate back with something pretty solid to mount the engine. But I have never seen a kit for this.
If anyone has a suggestion for a kit, or even just parts that can be fitted together for a rack like I am describing (maybe parts from McMaster-Carr or someplace like that?), please let me know. I am open to any suggestion. Thanks.
