Hi All and Merry Holidays!

I am to the point of my construction where I need to figure out how to mount the motors to the mounts. Do I use wood screws or use long 6-32 screws and glue them in place? Can anyone give me examples of what they did? The build sheets don't really say how to do it.
Thanks,
Rene

i just used drywall screws. you will find the need to remove your motors so dont use glue.
i have had to remove the motors because the couplers slipped even the dumbster one slipped. it wasnt tight enough.

Hi Rene,
This is the way I mount my motors to the frame.
Using the nuts (see the photo) from the DIY shop, whit M5 hex screws.
You also can see the tool I used for drilling out the pocket in the plate.
The motor plate can be bolted or screwed to the frame.
