Step 4Mounting the motor
Using the sheet steel I cut a rectangle so that it could be bolted to the support bar with enough room for the motor to fit between the two bolts.
The motor was then positioned on the sheet to align the two sprockets and the holes were marked for the motor mounting bolts. Once drilled the holes were lengthened to allow minor adjustment of the chain tension.
Two pieces of solid steel bar were drilled and used as brackets to lock the motor to the support bar.

If possible, could you provide a close up of the drive wheel with the sprocket? I want to see how you mounted the sprocket. Thanks!

I couldn't find a close up, but I used the hardware from the MBS V5 Brake Kit and drilled holes in the sprocket that matched the brake kits rotor. The hardware is basically a spacer and bolt that lifts the rotor away from the wheel.

Ok so do you think I would need the brake kit to drill the holes or could i just drill them based off of how I need to attatch it to the wheel?

You could do it without the brake kit if all you wanted was the sprocket mounted to the wheel, i think it would just take some good measuring to get it centered.
