That's a good call. I got the laminates over the mounts pressed down pretty good with those books it seems, its maybe max half a mm on top of the mounts.
Threw the aluminum mounts on and toss my motor on and the alignment looks good, one shim on the back left mount and it wash flushed up.
Looking at it, it's going to stink aligning once the front foothold is in, there's literally almost no space then!

Thanks dude! Yeah those are McMaster heavy duty rivets nuts with M8 socket bolts that I had to grind down nearly to the hex to get to fit inside the rivet area to flush up.

I didnt know such a thing existed!! Thats exactly what I need. Looks like I need a special tool or is there another way?

I just gflex epoxied them in without crimping them with a tool. Then since there is recess space without compacting the rivet you can get the ground socket head to sit inside of it flush, plus a small o-ring.

I'll have to check how many I have, but they're yours, just pay shipping. Shoot me a PM. FYI this is the level of grinding that has to happen to the bolts.

If you have more than 2 I'd pay shipping for a set. I just drilled 2 holes in mine

Jamie I could only scrap three of these together, sorry man! I want to keep the one in case I need to replace one on my boat and ISOLDOUT's got dibs on the first two.
This is the exact box part at McMaster http://www.mcmaster.com/#97467a693/=rc0o9j

Rough glass and carbon layer...
And eye candy. I was really happy with how this turned out, there's a few small bubbles but other than that it glimmers great in the sun.

I got back at it today. I got my pipe installed and mocked up where my waterbox would be going for inserts to go in. I made the inserts by casting t-nuts into PP medicine cups, then grinding them down round.

Did you glass then carbon around the bend where it mounts through the firewall?

I assumed you did I just couldn't see it on my phone.

Yeah I could probably have taken a better picture of it. But it is there! There is one under the carbon on the tail of the pipe and then just glass at the firewall end of the pipe.
