"homemade" B/RB motor mount plans for your narrow "A"
« on: June 13, 2007, 12:41:09 AM »

Had a pair of "StreetMasters" B/RB mounts for a narrow "A" and I drew up plans to make them out of metal U channel stock. They sold these years ago out of Baltimore I think, around 180.00 but you can make them here for about 20 bucks and some metal shop tools if you can read my freehand drafting. It doesnt have to be perfect except the mounting ear hole dimensions, everything else is dynamic as the K has slotted holes for the mounts. Worth a shot?

Streetmaster was/is based out of Superior Wisconsin. I'm also running the Streetmaster Mounts in my 65. Not sure if they are in business anymore. Anyone know?
