you got any side profile pics of the slide tensioning bolts? My only hesitation with these AND 8" tires was getting all the bolts tight since 2 would be behind the tire… I tried to zoom in, did i see right your only going with 2 of 4 securing the motor?

I have all four bolts in. I have the motors pretty far out. If you have it closer the tires would get in the way. I’ll try to get a couple more pics

Well… I ordered another mounts from boardnamics and a tracking number was created on March 2nd but has not gone anywhere and he has not responded to my message on here… These are pricey compared to boardnamics but a possible alternative if you end up in need. https://electricboardsolutions.com/products/dual-mount-for-mbs-matrix-ii

Quick edit.
Boardnamics has messaged me and was waiting on hardware.and mounts will be here tomorrow

Man, ive been trying to get a good finish on your hangers but they’re being a pain in my ass. Ive sanded and polished them twice now and im still not happy with them.

The hanger mounts are good.

But even they could do with another round under the buffing wheel.

The problem is the mill finish.

Its really rough and needs to be sanded. Problem is i want a good, uniform finish and that means progressively wet sanding up through 1000 grit. And then polishing from there.

I wish it hadn’t taken so long. But each step along the way adds more time. :frowning:

This is after 600grit then 1000grit. Cleaned and dried. Then heavy cut compound and then a finishing compound. The first go still had some pitting that i couldn’t get out.

You can still see some ghosting on the metal. Needs another pass under the buffing wheel with some fine finishing compound to get the luster up.

There only so much you can do with Aluminum, your going to have to spend a lot of time on it to get a good finished on it.

Ya, i get it. But they’re going on oil slicks, so they need to shine for a bit. :smiley:

A few notes on finish:

If you want that super smooth and shiny finish, then the mount must be surface machined on both sides. This means you must start with a thicker stock and mill it to size. The result is a much more precise and beautiful surface, but adds material and machining cost.

I will announce that all my new products will feature a sandblast with black anodize finish. Much more professional looking, among the best finishes for aluminum available. Think smartphones with aluminum construction :smiley:
