Will the motor mount in Mikes store fit a 8.5? I know it's to the side, but it seems like the only quick way to make this happen.

see my thread in the buggy forum. :) (it does with some parts from the h8 diff)

Okay, this is my first time using calipers, not sure if it's right...

for the mount holes I have 34.70 front to back, 21.15 side to side, 40.74 criss cross.

hmmm 34.7? and 21.25. were your calipers zeroed? kind of odd

Should they all be like 35.5 and 21.25, or should they all be whole number?

i would expect a hole number or half, quarter etc.. just not .4 :D

Easier to measure the outside and inside of the holes and then split the difference rather than guessing the middle... :)

chris you have a hyperst, you can measure it ;)

What parts should I order?

I don't have calipers - sorry

I've got a Hyper ST and calipers, just let me know how you want me to measure them, I'd be happy to.

From the bottom the top and bottom of the car we need the inside and outside measurements of the diff mount screws - length and width

Also height of diff mount - inc and excluding stiffner plate

Also height from bottom of diff mount to bearing and from bearing to top of diff mount.

the center to center holes, lengthwise and width please :D

Its not just so simple, take measures and draw, cut detail. They need generate G-code check that G-code and then try to mill. Actualy best to give whole car to specialist and explain that you need

If this goes ahead I'm happy to lend my car to mike but he already has a hyper mount so I believe will be able to do this simply by adjusting his existing design...
