Can the stock Savage Flux motor mount accept 36mm motors? I have a NEU 1415 laying around, 36mm diameter. Will it fit?

No. The flux mount is for 39mm motors. Unless you can make a spacer to put around the 36mm motor.

Or you try to find one of those "motor expanders", that should be able to stretch it out the 3mm you need.

Like a tailpipe expander that exhaust shops use? Should work like a charm!

Yes, you can. I run a Medusa 36mm wide motor in my Flux. I used a couple of angle brackets, and cut them to size. Make sure they are a very tight fit. You may have to shave the pole spacers (that the screws go through) to get some more clamp on the motor, but not too much as it may snap.
