Our new motor holder!

[ben]

I guess this is the right place for this.
My dad and I tried out handy work at a Snap ring motor case holder. Its 5/8" particle board with some formica we had laminated on and then holes cut with a hole saw and sanded a little but. The legs are something we found at Lowes and figured it gives it some class

cases from front to back, left to right... Asterick means it wasn't put in its hole

We have some extra stuff and all the hole saws if any of you want one. Just need to pay for the legs and my dad for labor (he did most of the work I just measured and told him where to cut )

Nice, looks like a glueless construction.
Building one for 98mm casings soon?

hehe, except for the contact cement on the formica. Well, me and my dad both figured at that point they will stand up better on their own and they will be to long to slide in and fit under our camper shell. So far we have 45" or so and the longest is a 40" case so thats close.

Plus if we get a 6" case we will make a nice little box for it to keep it nice and transportable.

I would make a dedicated trailer for motors if I were you

Needs more fiberglass and carbon fiber.......

That ws actually the origional plan. To vacuum bag the plywood in a layer of carbon fiber and clear coat it but then it would have taken longer to cut the holes and weigh a lot more than we wanted.

...."cases from front to back, left to right... Asterick means it wasn't put in its hole"....

I can't tell what is front and what is back...I assumed the Loki cases were at the front but that wouldn't match your list...

BTW: If an "asterisk" means it wasn't put in its hole...how come there are 6 asterisks and 16 empty holes?

If you look at the third pick the short grey case is a 75mm K motor. That is fartest left, and front.

I left out some astericks and he drilled a few extra holes.
