    mounting motors?

    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.

    Success Hans
