The motor bracket
To install the motor to my frame, I need a beefy bracket to hold that 2HP motor. I took a scrap piece of 2″x2″ 1/4inch aluminum plate. I made some drawing in autocad to have my template and start drilling my bracket.
A little bit of milling to make every straight.
The 4 screws are the original one that came with the motor. I really need to put some “loctite” so the motor does not fall. Vribation is your ennemy!
To prevent the pulley from moving out, I make a slot in the shaft so I could insert a “C” clip.
Next time, I will test the autocad file on cardboard before making the real part. The mounting hole are not perfectly aligned.
