Steps to reproduce

Using tools such as Vernier Calipers, tape measure, steel rule, angle finder and 3D modelling software: Measure the gearbox bellhousing holes that attach the motor to the gearbox (and ensure to measure the size, location and the amount of extrusion the input shaft). Measure the replacement motor mounting holes on the back of the motor (ensure the crankshaft location and size is also taken into consideration). Using 3D modelling software, create a model of the adaptor plate that will allow the motor to sit on the gearbox in the correct location and be spaced out the correct amount to allow sufficient engagement of the input shaft to the crankshaft.
