The rear mount should be flush up to the seat tube. Then you have to fabricate something to go on the front mount to the down tube.

The way I did it was to get a 4" x 12" x 1/4" hunk of metal from Farm & Fleet. I cut that down to about 4" x 4". Drilled a couple holes to attach it to the front mount on the engine, and a couple of other holes, just a little wider apart, so I could use a muffler clamp around the down tube.

There are a couple of places out there selling mount kits that are similar to this construction, for ten or fifteen bucks, if you don't feel like cutting and drilling - although I don't think the metal plate will be quite as thick.
