like the others have said its not a bright idea to drill thru your frame with this part. motor.
I made a clamp setup for mine and the motor doesn't budge at all it sits very firm and I believe adds further strength overall which is obviously voided by the extra weight and torque this motor provides.
The last chrome moly frame I had only lasted around 15hrs.
It cracked right at the crank... in saying that the frame cost me sfa so it wasn't really what you'd call a loss.
Just goes to show you that even with the clamp mount which involves no drilling or added stress due to being literally just clamped on it will still eventually brake. It probably doesnt help I way 100kgs, but still drilling...umm no way!
Only thing with making up clamps is they are pretty much unique to th bike as all the angles need to be right so the motor can just plonk straight in with full surface area on each contact point and even hugs the tube meaning you need to have the right size tube to cut in half or however you wanna do it.
To make them properly it will take hours and I personally would not see it feesable to even bother making up brackets for anyone other than my own.
