Well, that would work (and actually not a bad price too), except I need about 3-3.25" walls. I guess I should have mentioned that. :dft001: It's for my Hyper8 buggy and I want to mount the motor over the rear brace, so it needs to be high. I plan on securing the face of the mount to the holes where the stock brake would go and then also on the bottom of the "L". Maybe even support the other end of the motor too.

Actually, I didn't actually measure the angle, I used a square and measured the gap at one end and then calculated the angle. Same thing I guess. That metal from online metals is said to be meant for structural applications, so I guess it's not terribly important if the angle is ~1/2 a degree off.

Maybe I'll simply ask Mike to machine a mount for me instead. I'll probably need someone to at least mill out the slots to adjust the gear mesh.
