Question. The supports for your motor, how did you cut that sweeping arc that the motor sits in? do you use a plasma cutter? Other wise it seems like a lot of grinding and filing.

I do sometimes do some Tai Chi type moves and a bit of meditation as well as stretching. Still able to do the splits without a warm up.

To cut the curve I used a 4 1/2" angle grinder canted over so it swept around the curve, American Chopper style. I then used a worn down grinding disc and then a flap disc to take it back to the line and to fine tune them to fit square and even

It wasn't a lot of work, given I cut everything for my scratch built electric tractor with a single hacksaw blade!
