The motor is in...

Finally got the motor connected to the gearbox and lifted it into the frame. I thought I would be pre-making the mounts but instead I offered the motor into place attached to the gearbox and hanging from a hoist, then using the gearbox mount bracket to set the position I measured and cut the other 2 mounts from an old scrap metal stand.

Curtis controller just tacked on to get the wires connected ready for a first run. 

Here are some more photos of it in place

The lifting eye was balancing it quite well although the motor end was slightly heavier. 

LH and front mount plates made from 3mm scrap sheet metal, it was already folded along some edges so I cut the shape I needed from it and didn't need to fold any parts

Offered the drive shafts up, had to unbolt the top of the shock absorbers to allow the arm to drop far enough to get the wheel end of the drive shafts in 

Would of been almost impossible without the hoist as I could hardly lift the motor and gearbox together. Although new the hoist was surprisingly cheap from ebay.
