Click the image to open in full size.

We expect to ship next week. Price is $29.99

As you can see this is also in the first one piece heat treated gear that we made, all gears in our products will be done like this.

Not yet, but we can look into that. Wouldn't be hard to make.

Do you have one to spare?

I think I might. This is an essential part as with out this there is nothing to hold the motor/transmission from just falling down in the frame .

Ill write back when I get home from to see if I have one, although it wont really help because its ments to grab the endbell of a 750 stock can but if it helps fab something up then thats fine with me

when i made my adapter plate for the 540 can, i just made an aluminum cradle for the motor that is held in place by the front body mount hardware (sandwiched between the body mount and frame). a zip tie holds it secure to the cradle.

Mnster, we are working on it. I think we can have it done within 1-2 weeks. We are doing 6 different gears right now, we will do that bruiser one as soon as we finish all other one.

Click the image to open in full size.

Got it mounted up, Everything was smooth BUT I would recommend the buttom head style hardware as it has a lower profile becasue with the hardware it came with, the head of the bolt protrudes past the counter sunk part of the mount and doesnt allow the motor to sit flush

Well the mount is nice, and itll be great to use 540 can motors especially with all the different lathe and brushless motor combos out there. Only issue now is making a mount up front to hold the end bell of the motor or some sort of other custom mount to hold the assembly in place???

Right now the end bell fits into the mount but it still has alot of play up and down and to the sides.

Hope the photos help guys!

here are the pic's of the motor mount. it's not the greatest but it works. a zip-tie holds the motor in place. i am sure a clamshell bracket could be made to sandwich the motor also.
