| We needed to make slots for the engine mounting bolts, because this is how you adjust the chain tension. To make the slots, we first drilled holes at the ends. We clamped surplus steel into place as guides, and then used a cutting torch to finish off the slots. |
| Here's the engine mounting plate welded into place - note the heat lines from the underside welding that displaced the rust. You can also see the expanded metal we welded on for footpads. |
