In the last picture, the engine is sitting cockeyed. That will be leveled when we are all said and done.

Also the clamps are there just until the super glue dries to join the metal bits together. They will be taken off before we bolt the engine on.

is that the same super glue i used on my glasses the other night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

maybe.
Its what I could find first. Since its an engine mount we wanted to use something really strong, that was also fast drying. It was about to start raining so we did not want anything that would still be setting up once the rain hit.

Mmmm.... superglue......

Stuff scares me. It's ok in tension, but one hit from the side (shear load) and it all lets go......

Super clean surfaces, aircraft structural epoxy and a rivet or 2 to squeeze the parts together to thin out the glue is the best bet. But, if you glue steel, the rust can separate the glue joint later....

Welding gud.

FINALLY (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) I have been waiting for someone to bite on that for days! I was hoping for a full on "ARE YOU CRAZY" but I'll take what I can get.

It will be welded. No glue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Tonight Zach hooked it up. We both decided that we wanted the bar to be bent so I busted out the trigonometry and got pretty close to perfect. We will finish it up tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Little more welding yet.

I want to reinforce the mounting plates and also the cut area- fully box that part in.

Mike cut the pieces tonight after we got back from the pool, but I was too wiped to start welding. I'll KO that tomorrow after work.

Is that bar stong enough?

Possibly add an upper section to make it like a truss???

Seems a little small/thin???

We are considering a truss, but we also consider it over done at that point. Not that being over engineered is a reason we consider for stopping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This is what I would like to add.
We have the metal sitting in my shop.

Does not add complexity, really. Does add strength.

It is probably not needed. But I'd rather over do it.

Yah, tonight as soon as I get home I have a lot of welding to do. The good news is I get to do the fun parts (welding) and then hand it off to mike for grinding and painting (the unfun parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

Tonight was victorious! We mounted the engine bar and hing the engine....then we decided it needed the extra bracing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The finished product looks bad ass! The engine is in, hanging and this is the best conversion like this that I have ever seen thanks to Zach's help and willingness to go the extra mile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The bus has landed!

When you dropped the bus last night and the drivers side shocks and springs compressed and bounced a little and there was NO movement or flex in the engine and bar? Yeah, that felt good.
