Dan Baker motor mounts to JAG feet

So, the challenge here was figuring out how exactly to combine the 2 systems, which weren't designed to go together...

The most important thing was to NOT drill on the motor mounts until everything else was ready to go...

So, we start off with designing something that will hold the nuts in place. Here's what I came up with:

"Gluing" the nuts in place, with a little JB Weld...ok, so a lot of JB Weld.

The original pre-drilling test fit:

The holes are much "cleaner" than they look in these pics. It's the missing primer that makes them look rough...
