Second pic is of the solder tabs which come bent at a 90-deg angle. Since they are further inboard than other motors, they will contact the bulkheads on our Type-Rs. I disassembled the motor to get a good hold of the tabs to bend them up out of the way, but after seeing the thickness of the tabs (very) you can probably just bend them without disassembly.
Hey Greg
I bought a same motor for the regional at Blue Diamond and made a post about it on my blog before, I had to do 2 things for the motor
http://dajohnwee.blogspot.com/2009/09/novak-ballistic-motor-just-arrived.html
1: made a sensor wire guide outta Lexan piece to keep the wire off the pulley
2: Dremel the tabs to keep em away from the bulkhead, I thought about bending flat but IMO once the metal is bent and unbent it gtes weaker and also I like to keep that tabs in 90deg angles to keep their own strength and ease of slodering
thats my 2cents, 1cent on each haha
