I broke the motor mount trying to snap start it from cold yesterday; no fault of the product, just of my mounting system; I had a pair of M4 bolts acting as motor mounts (both compression and tension). Naturally it was me who broke it, not the primary user.

Plan is to put the bolts through lengths of 1/8 steel tubing so I can keep the bolts in tension and put the pipe in compression.
