Step 7 Mount: Drilled and Welded

Centering the motor ring is very important. The ring is a section of a stainless steel light post salvaged from a scrap yard cut to 4 1/4 inches wide. It is 8 1/4 inches in diameter which leaves about a 1/8 inch gap around the motor. It is perforated on the drill press to allow air flow to the motor and notched on the right side for chain clearance. The motor mount is welded offset inside the ring for optimal motor shaft and chain placement. Mounts are welded to the underside of the motor ring to accept the removable foot peg assembly. The foot pegs themselves are aluminum BMX "grinder" pegs.
