ERBE Motor Plate Brace

Doing this will help in stiffening the motor plate by securing the bottom of the motor mount with a screw in the round plastic part the mount pivots on. When adjusting the gear mesh, that bottom screw needs to be loosened same as the top one. I have modified that round plastic part further more by installing brass inserts so that I can now really screw the motor mount very tight against the motor plate.

Why not just make a mount out of a piece of CF.. Shouldn't be to hard with a dremel.

Yes - "Two are better than one" - screws in this case. When I saw the mount separating from the plate, I wasn't surprised since the stock set-up only has one screw holding them together. What you did looks nice.

I did and I know of one more person who did. CF is stiffer than the original alu plate but it still flexes too much under hard landings. And CF doesn't dissipate heat, my motor runs 10 degrees hotter with a CF motor plate.
