Mounting plate half way done

The first two parts of the mounting plate are on their place. A bigger part where the motor will be attached will be bolted on top of these parts. After the motor shaft is aligned with the gearbox shaft, the mounting plate parts will be welded togheter. This is the plan at the moment, we'll see if it works. This step has needed a lot more work than what I could expect. However it is a rewarding step as the first very limited test drive can be done after the motor is mounted.
The ME1003 has imperial threads on its fixing points, so I'll need to find suitable imperial bolts which is not easy in Finland.
