actually if you look closely what i actually made was a tranny crossmember, the actual stock mount (well not so stock, but stock setup) is still there on top of the bar setup that i made, the actual MOUNT is made of poly.

KA-Ts are awesome motors. Ivan did a lot to help the reputation of the KA.

Too bad they're so dang ugly. Yeesh.

this is such an awesome project
imo you made a really good choice going ka.
reliable strong little motors that are abundant with lots of aftermarket support.
kudos
