Were you trying to install the Grid mount in the car with the motor already installed in the mount? If so, why?
As for the CC 2200kV motor, it doesn't matter. I was using a CC Neu 1800kV motor in my car before I bought the Tekin setup, and I was using the Grid mount. Never a problem with the Grid mount with the CC or Tekin motors.
If the wires hit the rear brace, you can rotate the motor 90 degrees in the mount, and that should solve your problem. It did for me, at least. Nice thing about the Tekin is that it uses 6 mounting screws, so you can rotate it in 60 degree increments if you want (although you may have to remove the front end bell to only move it 60 degrees, which is not a big deal).
Also, I don't understand your comment about the spur gear. You should be installing the Grid motor plate without the pinion on the motor and without the motor installed in the mount, so I don't understand how the spur gear is causing a problem. If you're referring to the pinion gear, you install the motor mount screws before you install the pinion, so again, I honestly don't under what issues you're having.
This is the way I installed everything:
1. Install the Grid motor plate onto the motor.
2. Install the pinion on the motor.
3. Install the Grid motor mount (the part that holds the spur and the motor plate) into the car.
4. Install the motor (with the motor plate) into the mount.
5. Set mesh a little loose, then tighten (I found that the mesh tightens ever so slighly when you tighten the clamping nut).
6. Check mesh all the way around the spur.
Note that if the wires hit the rear brace, rotate the motor in the motor plate and reinstall.

If you had read my signature you would see I am running the Castle Creations 2200Kv motor and not the Tekin, the mounting holes are different and two of my mounting screws are behind the Spur gear. After taking the center plate out of the Grid mount I still couldn't get the right angle for the wires off the 2200KV motor, to allow enough room to rotate the center plate in the Grid Mount to allow for pinion mesh.
Hence the whole separation thing. But before you decide to comment on my attention span and reading comprehension again, at least semi know the facts and then be sure to have read your own.
