Motor mount

As you can see, I left the existing motor mount in place and just added a vertical bar, with 2 additional bars you can't see, down to the motor. The bar and bolts where about $6. The mount is on a rubber shock absorber and pivots horizontally to the motor. Since the motor assembly is about a third the weight of the original motor it should be enough to support it on rough roads. It won't have a huge amount of torque support. So it will be important to keep an eye on the adapter plate motor mounts.
