frame tube clamps for mounting motor?

[LooseCog]

hi,

attaching a motor inside the frame's triangle seems difficult without some custom/specialty parts. i'm looking for general frame clamps that are (1) strong and (2) can attach to something with a bolt or two. any recommendations?

i found this old thread which refers to custom frame tube adapters made by recumpence http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=19558. if nothing stock turns up i may just bug him about them

thanks.

something along this line?

easy enough to mount a motor...lots of extra "meat" to drill & tap for a gaurd or other component anchor points.

yeah, something like that would do although the motor is a larger currie-style can motor with a mounting plate. i could see using two like that, one on the seat tube and the other on the down tube, and then bolting an extruded i-beam or something across them...

is that custom or does someone sell them for various tube sizes?

thanks thud.

Look at this mount idea at www.boosty.ch

thanks all,

i'm following up with thud on his custom mounts, but what i'm really looking for is some off-the-shelf clamp/attachment that's not too bulky yet sturdy and offers strong points for attaching aluminum plates etc.

here are some ideas from mcmaster-carr:

• http://www.mcmaster.com/#hose-clamps/=c8uc9o

• http://www.mcmaster.com/#tube-clamps/=c8ud01

i'd love to hear more what off-the-shelf clamps/mounts have been tried -- what works, what doesn't.
