Motor Mount

   I had the old motor mount from the KR project which would fit the Dan Diehl case but it did not fit the VP firewall.  We needed to make a jig to hold the pads in alignment, cut the tubes, make new bottom pads, and weld the tubes  back into place.  We also wire brushed the paint off all the tubes for the welding and repainting.
