Instead of having to clamp down so hard. Add in heatshrink in the gap which you see. They help seal up the inconsistencies in these casted trucks as they vary slightly.
Unfortunately, with a one piece clamp. Add a piece of heatshrink - you barely need just one heatshrink. Helps for keeping it rock solid and not shifting. Works fine without the heatshrink you just have to bolt it down harder.
I prefer to add the heatshrink as it has many benefits.
I wanted to put washers on the motor bolts but because of belt clearance, I would have either needed very thin washers or to change from the heavy duty allen bolts to the button screws which strip easier. Since I need to be able to tighten and loosen and re-tighten the motors periodically, I prefer the heavy duty allen bolts. Plus I would imagine that flat washers would make it easier for the bolts to loosen under vibration.
I use tiny little lock washers on mine. Seems to actually be better with vibrations since you can get more torque on the bolt without deforming the aluminum underneath.
Yep! And where the head of the bolts pass over the slots, there is structural weakness there. Washers would spread out the load more evenly. WIth locktite, I think everything should be fine as far as loosening issues. Icing on the cake.
Thanks Bro!

Feels like a welded mount. No flex, No movement.
Oh, did you mean clean as in no dirt?
