The Inhaler - All-Electric 23 Model T Autocross/Drag Truck

Now for a little of what I do...

Here's a rendering of the CAD model for the rear motor mount.


3x12.25x14.5" 6061 billet clamped down and ready to make chips.








It bolts to a 3" tubular crossmember on the frame with two .750" 12pt, grade 8, bolts on the ends; and four .750" studs in the middle. There will be a machined and fabricated inner structure in that crossmember, with threaded bushings for the bolts, and sleeves for the studs, that positively locates the motor and feeds the torque into the chassis properly.

There is also a minimum of .750" section width in the mount, where the motor mounts to it. So, in essence, it is a glorified .750" motor plate with a very stout base and huge fasteners.
