Motor assembly ready to be fitted

Once the motor plate was carefully aligned with the gearbox shaft it was then welded on its place. The motor plate was then removed and welded from the other side to secure the flat bar pieces in their correct places. Now the ME1003 motor could be mounted into the motor plate and the flywheel assembly into the motor shaft. Two guide pins were mounted on the motor plate to get it installed back on the same position it was just removed from. Similar guide pins were used to position the original gasoline engine as well. The guide pins were made from M12 bolts using a lathe. One of the pins can be seen on the right side of the motor plate in the picture.
