CD mount and 1520

[ZippyBasher]

Maybe 7075-t6 instead of 6065-t6? I bent an 8ight mount and bent it back in a vice pretty easy...(1512)
Edit: Plastic spur, ripped teeth.

Arct1k, plastic spur, or metal? mesh issue?

I'm currently redoing my cybermaxx and I am doubling up the motor plate and top plate on my cd mount. 2x the monster

I think he needs to not only use 70 series, but needs an increase in the moment of inertia around the outside. This can be accomplished in many different ways, the challenge is in making it "universal" for everyones different applications. Possibly the most universal method may be to increase the height some, and make it thicker, then recess the area where the motor contacts the mount (kind of a mini can like the Tekno mounts).

ANyway you look at it, its going to be a more expensive mount system, and take up more room on the chassis. Personally, I could live with those.

Not that I am worried about getting blasted, but the mount is not enough by itself. I like the Tekno mount because it gives support along the length of the motor. I scraped the CD mount for an angle styled one I made from a piece of quarter inch thick two inch aluminum angle.
