The deck brace i purchased must be for the original E4 and not The RS. I wonder where the brace on the car pictured a couple of pages back is from. I cant find anything on the KFactory website.

The Orion Vortex seems quite long as when is place it fouls on the chassis. At the front of the motor, although there is a bevel, one of the three screws fouls on the chassis restricting how you can orientate the motor. This is the same at the back of the motor where there is no bevel at all.
I have made a small bevel on the chassis around the cut out for the motor and i now have sufficient movement up/down and i can rotate the motor to some degree.
However, there is little front/rear play maybe 1-2mm and the motor sits towards the rear of the car meaning i cant install a heatsink as it will foul on the pulley.
I am now having to remove material from the side brace (where the side belt tensioner is attached) to allow more play. I haven't tried to mesh yet but I'm worried that with the motor being so restricted even with modifications that my gearing options will be more limited.

Ps, thanks for the link!
